A message from Jim OHara,
General Manager
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to our webpage dedicated to Intel’s contribution to the Lisbon Treaty referendum campaign.
Last year, like many others I stood back more than I should have, convinced, to be honest, that a Yes vote was a foregone conclusion. I was wrong This time, after discussions with my corporate colleagues, Intel as a matter of corporate social responsibility believes that we have a duty to speak up. As a company, Intel chose to invest in an Ireland, which offers strategic certainty on its national commitments to a business friendly environment and its full embrace of its connection to the EU.
The dynamics of Ireland fully connected to Europe have been powerful and positive for the people of Ireland – good for Foreign Direct Investment, good for jobs, good for prosperity and ultimately good for business.
We are convinced that for future growth and innovation Ireland needs to stay fully connected to Europe. Ireland as a fully connected player in the EU, matters to us. Our question to the Irish people is – does it matter to you?
Best wishes,
Jim OHara
General Manager, Intel Ireland
