That is why the first step in our long term economic plan is to create more and better jobs in every region of the country. Companies like Grant Engineering – innovative companies, making products and services in Ireland for sale in Ireland and export overseas – are driving the jobs recovery in every region of the country, and I am delighted to welcome this very welcome initiative”.
