Organizations Make Strides In Adoption Of Analytics, But Struggle To Capitalize On Investments, Accenture Research Finds
Organizations are progressing in the adoption of analytics for decision making, according to new research from Accenture (NYSE: ACN). However, there is still a prevalent disconnect between analytics capabilities organizations have built and how successfully they put them to use for business decision-making.
The survey of 600 executives in the United Kingdom and the United States revealed that 66 percent of responding companies have appointed senior figures (e.g. chief data officers) in the last 18 months to lead data-management strategies and policies, as well as to support business growth.
The use of analytics as a primarily predictive tool almost tripled to 33 percent from 12 percent in 2009 when Accenture research revealed that weak analytics capabilities hindered organizations' decision-making abilities. Today, twice as many organizations feel that they are generating new ideas and opportunities from company data "to a great extent" (25 percent versus 12 percent in 2009).
On the other hand, just over one fifth of respondents (22 percent) said they are "very satisfied" with business outcomes driven by their analytics investments to date. Furthermore, only 39 percent of organizations state that the data they generate is relevant to their business strategies, and only 50 percent say that their data is consistent, accurate, formatted and complete."Analytics remains the new kid on the block, but is clearly moving on the C-suite agenda," said Narendra Mulani, senior managing director, Accenture Analytics. "However, although companies are investing in senior resources and advanced technologies, analytics is not yet deeply ingrained into the fabric of most companies as an integrated, enterprise-wide approach. For many organizations the journey to achieving true return on investment still lies ahead." A combined 45 percent of respondents described their analytical capabilities as either in need of improvement, limited, lacking senior management support or piecemeal. Another 20 percent of organizations stated they have the required technical and human resources to apply analytics regularly with some success, but that the focus tends to be tactical rather than strategic. Only 21 percent of respondents said they routinely use analytics very successfully as part of an integrated enterprise wide approach. According to the research, getting the full returns on investments in analytics is a journey that leads from issues, to insight, to decisions, to action and ultimately to outcome. But the Accenture Analytics experts also state that incremental value is to be gained at every step of this journey, and that organizations should set clear goals for each step they climb, for example focusing on near-term value so their analytics efforts are self-funded within the first twelve months.

City hesitates on allowing pot retail stores
SNOHOMISH - The city isn't in a hurry to allow recreational marijuana businesses to open up in town.
At last week's City Council meeting, the council placed a six-month moratorium on recreational marijuana businesses.
The state Liquor Control Board will start accepting business license applications in November for recreational marijuana retail stores, production and processing businesses.
The moratorium is only on the establishment of marijuana-related businesses, senior planner Owen Dennison said.
"It is not a ban on the personal use as permitted by I-502," Dennison said. "To some extent, it is a communication tool, as the city's business license regulations currently prohibit the issuance of a business license for any use that violates a law, such as the federal Controlled Substances Act."
Some council members are wary of allowing marijuana businesses because it's still illegal under federal law. The U.S. Justice Department recently told Washington and Colorado that it wouldn't interfere with each state's effort to implement voter-approved rules for legal marijuana use.
Some council members said they wanted to wait until other cities establish regulations and experience the first court challenges to those local regulations. This will allow the city of Snohomish to watch and see what legal precedent will be set, Dennison said.
The liquor board is scheduled to adopt rules next month. Many council members wanted to wait for the state rules to be adopted.
Councilman Tom Hamilton agreed it would be best to wait until the liquor board issued its rules in order to "have full information available to make a decision."
"I'm sure there will be more discussion as this moves forward," Hamilton said.

She's from Detroit, Michigan, home of Janet Jade. Sadie has a job working with numbers and her own numbers add up to a perfect figure. "I just love to watch porn," Sadie says. "Especially group sex videos. I would love to be with a girl, especially Daphne Rosen. I'd love to have hardcore, strap-on sex with a girl with big boobs. I've made out with a few girls but just a lot of kissing, boob-squeezing and drunk action. I masturbate a lot. I usually just use lube and my fingers on my clit with a porn DVD on. A lot of guys don't realize that girls do what guys do because most girls just don't talk about it but we do. Guys think that girls find porn gross but that's not true. Some do but a lot of girls love to watch porn and cum." For her first time, Sadie wanted to try breast-sex and cock sucking. She's berry natural with a camera and a man's cock! Don't miss the video. That's all we gotta say. Welcome to the big show, Sadie Berry!
Christy Marks is a little bit of a voyeur. Who could blame her? While bunking down at the SCORE house, she catches her temporary roomies getting down on the couch. At first, all she wanted was a little snack, but when she sees Carmen fondling Carlo's meat, Christy decides to say, "Fuck the snack! I want a meal!" and jumps right on in. Watch this busty threesome take off as Christy gets plowed and Carmen's pussy gets eaten out. You thought you loved pussy, but once you see how eagerly Christy laps up Carmen's cunt, you will be convinced of one thing: Christy Marks might just love pussy more than you do. And hey, as long as you get to watch, more power to her, right?
Back in the day, getting dressed up for New Year's Eve was a big deal. Women would put on their finest gowns, and men would dress up in top hat and tails. Not anymore. Now people just throw on some clothing and find a place to get drunk. But Karina, being Karina, wants to bring some class back to New Year's Eve. But is she doing it by wearing a fancy gown? No! She's Karina. She doesn't do things the traditional way. Nope, she's wearing the top hat. It was fun getting dressed up like this, Karina said. I asked the photographer if I could keep the hat so I can wear it on New Year's Eve. I think I'm going to! Bringing in the New Year with Karina would be a lot of fun. Kinda like, when that ball in Times Square drops, your balls'll be dropping, too. Any New Year's resolutions, Karina? Yes, she said. I want to make all of my fans happier than ever. We can't wait to find out how she's going to do that!
Nothing beats a cool, refreshing splash of coconut milk over a huge pair of swaying tits and Terry Nova will agree with you. It's a lot better than freezing her tits off in the cold back in Prague!

She was definitely born to be a busty island girl, romping through the surf and playing with her coconuts!

They got along very well during the making of this movie--Sapphire gets along well with everybody--and bridesmaids Sapphire and Maria got along especially well in their very jacktastic scene together. The size of their hooters never ceases to astonish. The comments: "Sapphire is the Queen of Plumpers! Even in clothes, she is too hot to handle, a plump redhead with freckles is off the chain. Great body, huge boobs and a shaved snapper make my mouth water with delight and get me as hard as a rock!" "My current favourite model is Sapphire. I would love to bury my face into all that cleavage and suck on her big tit like a hungry infant." Thank you, Sapphire. We never had a PE teacher like you at our schools.
Blog visitors thought Bella Blaze was busty enough for SCORE and so it happened. But what about this sexy amateur model Annya Marie? She's got perky, pointy 32D's that look fantastic but is it enough? In SCORE, a D-cup is a training bra. Tell us what you think at Scorecard. Modeling is a part-time thing thing for Annya, a fling. She doesn't have the body of an amateur, that's for sure.
One of the USA's best known big-titted MILFS, Amber Lynn Bach Bach is always thinking of ways to bust the stress and the pressures of modern life that the typical American male has to deal with. By providing quality relief with her tits, lips and pussy, this angel of compassion has improved the quality of life for the many who cross her path. Right now, Amber's taken her message of hope to the streets where she's received an enthusiastic response. Guys will actually stop their vehicles in traffic to discuss important issues with her. Sometimes, the interaction gets so involved that they have to continue it in private. Amber's more than happy to spread her knowledge and advice to these gentlemen and that's why she rarely wears underwear under her short dresses. With her gracious permission, SCORE's cameras followed Amber on one of her typical days and, believe us, it was an informative and educational experience. We even assisted Amber by bringing extra towels and lube. It was a privilege to spend the afternoon with her as she did her good deeds for the day, as our footage clearly shows.
We think that the curvy Kelly Kay could be a James Bond girl. Just look at the way she fills out this space-age, neoprene leotard. And we know where she could hide her twin laser guns! We're sure that 007 would not object to sucking on Kelly's big nips!
The sweet, soft girl-next-door generated so much attention when she was discovered that a website (DesiraesWorld) was created to fill the demand for more of this busty, beautiful amateur. This scene in Voluptuous Xtra 3 was the second time Desirae was fucked. Shot in a point of view style, Desirae's man-pleasing, soothing voice, big hangers and her wholesome, dairy-fed looks produced countless erections. She is ultra-sexy in a fresh, country girl way with the vocabulary of a phone sex operator. Clean but dirty. Innocent yet nympholicious and horny. Eager to please and to drain a man of his precious fluids. Her entire vibe and personality was completely different from the many generic porn stars who make 400, 500 or more videos before they retire. "I really like it whenever the guy's on top and my nipples are being sucked really hard," Desirae said in an interview with a SCORE editor. "But that's not my favorite sexual position, that's just where I like the guy to be when he's sucking on my nipples. My favorite position is doggie. I love to be fingered in the ass and the vagina at the same time. That gives me a pretty powerful orgasm. Also I like to be treated like a sex slave during sex sometimes. And the more I feel like the slave, the more aroused I get. I like to be treated like a slut, but the guy has to respect me. I'm a girl that will fuck you so good, if you treat me good. I'll pretty much do whatever a guy wants me to in bed if he treats me right." With these words, Desirae revealed the key to her popularity.
"I like to wear a bra when I go out, but when I am home, I like to let my boobs loose sometimes," says Romanian wonder bra-buster Arianna Sinn. She's the newest of several topheavy Romanian babes we've found over the past seven years including Joana and Crisa. You have to wonder how much untapped boob potential is hidden away in Romania. "I like to feel my boobs bouncing, and sometimes I will reach down and play with them. It's very difficult finding bras that fit [34G]. My boobs are so big, and they seem to get bigger and bigger every year. I usually buy bras when I go on vacation in other countries, but when I am home, no. It is very difficult." Here's to Romania, land of the bustees.
Spoiler alert! This posting contains unhappy news. Unless Michelle May changes her mind, this is it. Michelle has graduated nursing school and is finished with modeling. She plans on devoting herself 100% to a busy career healing the sick. This news has left us sick and depressed ourselves but we must find the will to go on. There will be new models and if Michelle ever decides to rejoin the big show, we'll be here waiting with fully-charged batteries and the latest Nikon. However she seems pretty confirmed about quitting modeling at this time. We could try pretending to be sick as a ruse to get her back but the odds of that working only happen in the movies. The voting in the Newcomer contest went well for her and she definitely deserved the recognition. Her double-interview video with Camelia Davis was a fun experience and the news got us motivated to watch it again. The comments: "Michelle got a huge boost. Her tits look so incredible. I was planning to vote for Amber Lee." "Michelle looks like the Voluptuous version of a SCORE model I've always enjoyed, Karen Fisher." "Tough category to vote on, but Michelle wins. Beauty wins out. She is the best looking. Very pretty face, and still has those bountiful tits and great curves. There were others that were a close contender (Farrah, Ashley, Sophie, Sierra, and Renee) but Michelle is my top pick." Thank you, Michelle May. We'll miss you and your great titties.
Now that Maggie Green sufficiently teased us by sucking on Daphne Rosen's strap-on and getting fucked by a plastic toy, I can assume that Maggie is going to take the next step and get fucked by a real cock? You can't tell me that while they were hanging out together, Daphne Rosen didn't tell her how great it is to fuck on camera and take it in the ass, too. I'm sure that must have piqued Maggie's curiosity. I hope Daphne said to Maggie, "Don't worry. It's okay to do hardcore. Doing so won't make you a bad girl." Speaking of which, I think it's about time Stephanie Stalls took the hardcore plunge, too. She reminds me a little of Candy Manson, another girl who started out by posing solo but who we all knew would soon be fucking and sucking on camera. She did, and now it's time for Stephanie to do it, too.-B.M.
Victoria Lane. The girl simply can not take a bad picture. She's physically incapable of it. And her tits are chest incredible. What a body she has. She is great girlfriend or wife material. In 2010, Victoria was the second runner-up in Voluptuous magazine's Model of the Year contest which is voted by the readers. Jimbo commented "This layout is proof of why I had voted for Victoria as Model of the Year. She is incredibly sexy. A pretty face, sexy bedroom eyes and a body to die for. We need her in a new video." Has Victoria considered trying a guy on camera? She's thought about it seriously but decided it just wasn't for her, a personal decision. That's fine with us! We don't need any dicks in the way of her hot face and succulent tits and ass!
Lillian Faye is one of the all-time slimmest naturally-big boobed girls to ever be in SCORE. Only a few others come close. A Ukrainian girl living in Israel named Mariana was nearly as slim as Lillian. Lillian's bod is perfect for corset wearing as well as corset training. She admires herself in the dressing room mirror before masturbating with a transparent jelly toy shaped in a series of balls. At one poitn, Lillian gets nearly all seven inches of it up her pussy. Very impressive! It was orgasm city in the SCORE dressing room that day!
Long-time Kelly Kay fans know that the busty beauty has a wide variety of toys to entertain and satisfy her when there's no man around to take care of her sexual needs. The lucky dildo featured here is a blue-plate special that travels to places on Kelly's voluptuous body that you can only fantasize about.
Katie Lewis, an 18-year-old student from Alabama (born in Mississippi), tells us she find out about NaughtyMag.com when she saw the website. Her interest was piqued immediately.
"I would really like to have sex with a real stud," said Katie, who's 5'9" tall and weighs 144 pounds. The tits are B-cups. The birth date is June 28, 1991.
Katie think she'll be better than the other girls on NaughtyMag.com, but that's for you to decide. She also said. "I haven't really sucked many guys' dicks, so I don't know if I'm good at it." This will be the fourth cock she's sucked. How did she do? Again, that's for you to decide. So go ahead. Decide.
When SCORE publisher John Fox, a man with decades of experience in megaboob model mania, saw snaps of Via in 1999, he knew that big-boobed fandom had a new winner. Via Paxton's photos were sent to SCORE by a reader C.S. He approached Via at a Barnes & Noble bookshop in Chicago, Illinois, her town. He had courage. The young lady didn't tell the stranger to get out of her face. The rest is history. Via became a hugely popular girl. Via measures 44-28-38, wears a 38E bra, stands 5'8", and 142 lbs. so it was easy to see why she swept us away. She was often photographed in Florida and later in Mexico for a SCORELAND special. Here's Via in Mexico, having fun and getting down in her bikini! This vid includes a short interview. We often wonder how Via's doing these days.
I bumped into Carmella on her morning jog. She was bouncing around the beach in her teeny bikini top, and the bulge in my pants must have caught her eye, cause she came at me like a scud missle. This sexy bitch has "fuck me" written all over her. From those enormous titties to that tasty twat, her body was built for a 10 inch cock.
SCORELAND guarantees that those cooking and food channels on television pale in comparision to Natalie Fiore's video, Foodie Time With Natalie. The super-stacked babydoll is a better TV food star than any of those celebrity chefs. Who'd have guessed? Then again, she surprises everyone with a new talent everytime she's here. Natalie will turn you into an Iron Cock Chef yourself as you watch what she does in the kitchen. Natalie returns to the apartment after a trip to the grocery store, and with her incredible bod wrapped in that tight dress, they must have been tripping over their own feet when she strolled down the aisles. She's brimming with plans for a food fest with her fantastic figure as the main dish. Several of our BLOG entries have asked about the subject of food play. Even if you never cared for foodie action before, Natalie may convert you to her way of thinking after you see what she does and hear what she says in her hot, accented English. She makes the perfect boobalicious buffet and, trust us, you can't afford to miss her one-woman banana contest. Natalie is always sexy but she's really outdone herself this time. Pass the honey, would you, Natalie?
"Bra shopping can be difficult but I have my special stores I go to," Shar says. "And I order them from England sometimes. The girls have big boobs over there too! Big, natural boobs. This one store I go to, they have this huge bra in the front window that's like eight feet wide. I was in there one time and a guy said, 'I want to meet the woman who can fit into that one!' It was pretty funny. The price of a bra can get expensive depending on what kind of bra it is. I can go for something pretty or for something that's going to actually hold me up. I need something that's going to hold me up. And those aren't always as expensive, but they're not too pretty. The pretty ones are only good for a few runs. I've broken them before." We're sure bra shopping with PPP-cupholder Shar is a rare experience! "I didn't start accepting that I had big boobs until I was almost 30 years old. For a long time, I felt self-conscious. I'd never wear a low-cut shirt or a revealing shirt. It could be hot as fuck outside and I'd be wearing a sweatshirt because I was trying to cover myself up." Today, Shar is busty and proud.

Seanad Éireann - Volume 185 - 06 December, 2006
Industrial Development Bill 2006: Second Stage.
Question proposed: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Mr. Martin Mr. Martin
Mr. Martin: I am delighted to be in the House for the Second Reading of the Bill.
[1121]In accordance with the recommendations of the Enterprise Strategy Group and the new mandate for Shannon Development, the indigenous industry support functions carried out by Shannon Development, under delegated authority from Enterprise Ireland, will revert to Enterprise Ireland on 1 January 2007. The reversion of these functions will also involve the transfer of about 40 staff from Shannon Development to Enterprise Ireland.
The purpose of this Bill is to provide the legislative basis to designate the transfer of the individual staff members concerned and provide a statutory guarantee to the staff who are so designated that their pay, conditions of service and pension arrangements shall not be diminished by virtue of the transfer.
The context for the new arrangements for indigenous enterprise is that by the start of 2005 a range of developments had occurred which necessitated a review of the role of Shannon Development. These included the Enterprise Strategy Group recommendation, accepted by Government, that Shannon Development's enterprise development functions should be brought within the remit of the national enterprise development agencies; the establishment of an independent Shannon Airport Authority; the proposed relocation of the headquarters of Enterprise Ireland to Shannon as part of the Government's decentralisation programme; the transfer of responsibility for Shannon town from Shannon Development to Clare County Council; and the abolition of the licensing requirement for companies setting up in the Shannon Free Zone.
Against the background of these developments, I asked Shannon Development to submit proposals to me for a new strategy for the company. These proposals, which included exiting the role of support for indigenous enterprises, are reflected in the new mandate I have authorised for the company.
Shannon Development will now have a more focused strategic role on the broader regional economic development of the Shannon region. The company will work in partnership with other public and private organisations in the region to identify and bring forward new initiatives, projects and programmes to maximise the development potential of the region and help create a viable counter-pole to the more developed eastern region. In this context I have specifically instructed the company to give priority to addressing the needs of the less developed parts of the region.
Shannon Development will use its extensive property portfolio, located throughout the region, as a lever to drive the delivery of the economic development infrastructure that is essential for regional development. The company will also continue to work closely with Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland in identifying and addressing the property needs of both indigenous and foreign direct investment companies and in pro[1122]moting the Shannon Free Zone as a location for foreign direct investment. The company's activities as the regional tourism authority for the Shannon region will also continue to have a key role to play in the economic development of the region.
I have recently approved a new three year corporate plan for the company which reflects the terms of the new mandate. The specific activities that Shannon Development will undertake will be selected on the basis of its potential to generate significant economic impact locally, regionally and nationally. For example, included in the plan are projects such as the eTowns initiative, designed to build the knowledge economy of the Shannon region, the development of the Kerry deepwater zone and the regeneration of the Shannon Free Zone as a location for high value added knowledge age investment.
The reversion of responsibility for indigenous enterprises support to Enterprise Ireland would provide a more logical delineation of responsibilities between the two development agencies in the mid-west region. As the support programmes currently provided by Shannon Development to enterprise clients are operated on behalf of Enterprise Ireland, they already reflect the supports available nationally. Provision has also been made for Shannon Development staff to transfer with the functions. It is anticipated therefore that the transition to the new arrangements will be seamless from the perspective of the company's clients.
As Enterprise Ireland is a significantly larger organisation than Shannon Development, the staff who will transfer from Shannon Development will consequently have access to more career development opportunities.
Shannon Development is uniquely placed to meet the challenge of regional economic development and specifically to maximise the development potential of the Shannon region in line with the objectives of the national spatial strategy. For more than four decades, initiatives developed and delivered by the company have been adopted and reproduced successfully in Ireland and internationally. With the more focused remit that it now has the company will be in a position to meet the new challenges that the region faces.
I will now briefly outline the main provisions of the Bill which are set out in a new section 21A to the Industrial Development Act 1993. These provisions are based on numerous precedents for transferring staff between statutory bodies.
Subsection (1) of the new section contains a number of definitions. Subsection (2) is an enabling provision. It provides legislative authority to designate the transfer of staff from Shannon Development to Forfás. Forfás is the legal employer of the staff in the three agencies established under the Industrial Development Acts — IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and Science Foundation Ireland.
[1123]Subsection (3) provides that staff designated for transfer by the Minister will be appointed to the staff of Forfás. Section 3 of the Bill subsequently amends the Second Schedule to the 1993 Act to include staff transferred from Shannon Development in the categories of staff that Forfás may second to the agencies.
Subsections (4) and (5) of the new section contain the terms of the guarantee that is being provided to the Shannon Development staff who will be designated for transfer. Specifically, it provides that staff who are designated for transfer may not receive a lesser scale of pay or be subject to any less favourable conditions of service than they were entitled to in Shannon Development. The superannuation benefits of the staff concerned may not be less favourable than those to which they were entitled in Shannon Development.
It has been normal practice to include the type of provisions contained in this Bill in legislation providing for the reorganisation of State agencies. In this instance, however, no new body is being established and both Enterprise Ireland and Shannon Development will continue to operate as separate agencies, each with its own distinct remit.
Shannon Development and Enterprise Ireland are well advanced in identifying the number of posts to be transferred. Shannon Development staff and their representatives are engaging positively with the process and I understand a strong level of interest is being expressed by staff in transferring to Enterprise Ireland.
Enterprise Ireland has also recently announced that it intends to move both its regional development headquarters and the newly established city and county enterprise boards unit to Shannon. Enterprise Ireland plans to have interim office accommodation in Shannon to accommodate both the Shannon Development staff and the regional headquarters staff by mid-2007. It is anticipated that approximately 70 Enterprise Ireland staff will transfer into this new accommodation as soon as it is available.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: I welcome the Minister to the House. We support this Bill, which is technical in nature. I wish the staff well and welcome the guarantees provided for them which, as the Minister outlined, is quite a normal feature.
In accordance with the new mandate for Shannon Development announced by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment in July 2005, the indigenous industry functions carried out by Shannon Development under delegated authority from Enterprise Ireland will revert to Enterprise Ireland in the new year. The purpose of the Bill, as the Minister outlined, is to provide legislative authority for the Minister to designate the transfer of staff from Shannon Development to Forfás and to provide a statutory guarantee to the staff that their pay, conditions of [1124]service and pension arrangements shall be in no way be diminished by virtue of the transfer. That is to be welcomed.
Nobody could doubt the importance of Shannon Development. Traditionally, it has had functions throughout the mid-west stretching to parts of Offaly and covering Clare, north Tipperary, Limerick and north Kerry. I was delighted to hear from the Minister of the development of the Kerry deepwater zone and other developments. I hope these initiatives live up to the promise the Minister outlined.
It is unfortunate that much time has passed since the Minister originally announced almost a year and a half ago that he was stripping Shannon Development of these traditional enterprise creation functions. It was a decision many condemned at the time, not only because of the manner in which it was announced — the crucial decision was buried in a press release, as my colleague in the Dáil, Deputy Pat Breen, pointed out — but because it was done in the middle of the summer. However, earlier this year the Minister flip-flopped and opted to allow Shannon Development to retain its enterprise functions within the Shannon Free Zone.
Shannon Development should be rightly proud of its recent announcement that Digital River will provide 350 jobs over the next five years in the Shannon Free Zone. Shannon Development is to be complimented on that because Mr. Kevin Thompstone and his team have gone to great lengths throughout Europe and elsewhere in the world to find industry suitable to the region and Digital River will be a welcome asset. In the intervening period between the original decision and its reversal the relevant agencies were left in limbo about who was responsible for what.
I welcome the fact that the core expertise of Shannon Development is being retained at the Shannon Free Zone. There must be a renewed focus on enterprise creation in the remainder of the county. As Deputy Breen recently pointed out to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Enterprise and Small Business, Ennis is in danger of becoming a dormitory town while the outlying towns of north, west and east Clare could all do with an employment boost. One good employer in Ennistymon is doing well. It is a digital company that exports signs throughout Europe and elsewhere in the world. Ennis in particular is suffering from a stream of job losses and I would welcome renewed efforts from the IDA and Enterprise Ireland to reverse some of the job losses we have seen in recent years.
Nationally, in the past five years more than 33,000 manufacturing jobs have relocated from Ireland to more competitive economies and more than twice that number of jobs that would have been created by companies locating here have not come to pass. Notwithstanding last week's roll-back, the Government's recent approval of large price hikes in gas and electricity in the absence of [1125]a proactive jobs policy is, at best, misguided and foolhardy and, at worst, irresponsible.
The Government is making our economy less competitive and driving manufacturing industry out of the country into more competitive countries. The recently announced price increases will also hit the already hard-pressed domestic consumer on top of the existing burden of high mortgages, long commute times and high child care costs, all of which will fully impact only in mid-2007. We cannot allow the destruction of our manufacturing industry here in the same way the Government has allowed the destruction of the sugar beet industry. Ireland has gone from being ranked fourth in 2000 to being ranked 21st this year in the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report due mainly to the Government's failure to control prices.
Mr. Leyden Mr. Leyden
Mr. Leyden: Has the Senator any good news? His contribution is all doom and gloom.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: I will leave that to the Senator when he will shortly have an opportunity to contribute. I am doing my best to get through this script.
Mr. Leyden Mr. Leyden
Mr. Leyden: The Senator should skip it; he should send it back to his party's press office.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach An Leas-Chathaoirleach
An Leas-Chathaoirleach: Allow Senator Coghlan to continue without interruption.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: I do not want to be distracted but in introducing this Bill on budget day it is as if the Minister is trying to bring in something under radar.
The National Competitiveness Council advises that Irish prices rose 22% more than those in other EU countries in the years 1999 to 2003. Ireland is ranked 20th in the World Economic Forum's Global Information Technology Report that measures the technological readiness of countries. We are behind our major trading partners such as the US, the UK and other EU counties such as the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Austria. Let us not forget that in February 2006 because of the failure of Government to properly deregulate the electricity market, Airtricity announced that it was pulling out of the Irish market.
I urge the enactment of this legislation before the end of the year to facilitate the transfer of staff from Shannon to Enterprise Ireland, as the Minister outlined. At the same time responsibility for indigenous industry support functions will transfer from Shannon Development to Enterprise Ireland on 1 January.
We support and welcome this Bill. The legislative provisions are based on numerous precedents for transferring staff between public bodies and I welcome that a statutory guarantee has been provided that there will be no diminution in the pay or service conditions of Shannon Development [1126]staff when they transfer to Forfás. I hope the Bill will be enacted quickly. I also hope the mistakes by the Government on Shannon Development will be rectified giving the IDA a proper job creation role in the mid west to give a boost to the economy in this fine region. Shannon Airport, located in the middle of the region, is an engine for growing jobs there. I hope Shannon Development will be successful in the near future. I wish the Bill a speedy passage.
Mr. Leyden Mr. Leyden
Mr. Leyden: I welcome the Minister and his officials to the House. I congratulate the Minister as a member of Cabinet on the introduction of an excellent budget. In regard to the promotion of enterprise, the Minister has achieved a tremendous effect in terms of the provisions of the budget, which will ensure that we will remain competitive, particularly for the 800,000 people working in the small enterprise sector. The Minister set up the enterprise unit, which made recommendations, the results of which are provided in the budget. He can take great credit for this work. The BSE scheme extended for a seven year period. Other initiatives, of which the Minister will make great play, include the Small Business Forum which he established. All the recommendations of that forum were adopted by the Government and Cabinet, which the Minister steered through the Cabinet.
I understand that with the agreement of Senator Coghlan, it has been proposed to take all Stages of the Bill tonight. It is important that we agree to take the Second, Committee, Report and Final Stages with the agreement of the House.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach An Leas-Chathaoirleach
An Leas-Chathaoirleach: It that agreed? Agreed.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: Yes, I have already indicated that.
Mr. Leyden Mr. Leyden
Mr. Leyden: I thank the Senator. He has been most co-operative.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: As per usual.
Mr. Leyden Mr. Leyden
Mr. Leyden: Yes, but I wish he would not use the script from the Fine Gael press office.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: We all have a job to do.
Mr. Leyden Mr. Leyden
Mr. Leyden: I withdraw that comment. I acknowledge that the Senator has a personal opinion on this matter.
I welcome the Minister to the House and I am grateful for this opportunity to speak on the Bill. The new mandate for Shannon Development means that the indigenous industry support functions carried out by Shannon Development will revert to Enterprise Ireland on 1 January 2007, necessitating the transfer of approximately 40 staff from Shannon Development to Enterprise Ireland.
[1127]I welcome the Bill, as it provides a statutory guarantee to the staff who are being transferred that their conditions of service and pension arrangements shall not be diminished by virtue of the transfer. I anticipate that the relocation of Enterprise Ireland to Shannon as part of the Government's decentralisation programme will lead to a renewed focus on the development of industry in the west and I very much look forward to this development. I also welcome the fact that Enterprise Ireland has a base in Athlone close to my country and the decentralisation of those services is welcome.
I am pleased that the changes proposed in the Bill will enable Shannon Development to have a more focused, strategic role on the broader regional economic development of the Shannon region. Shannon Development has the resources and expertise to successfully promote growth and innovation in the Shannon region.
The Shannon Free Zone is a most attractive location for foreign direct investment. The company's activities as the regional tourism authority for the Shannon region will also continue to play a key role in the economic development of the region. It makes sense that the staff of Shannon Development, who are currently engaged in development activities with business in the region, are to be transferred to Enterprise Ireland as this ensures continuity for their clients, as well as providing them with opportunities for career advancement.
I commend the work of Enterprise Ireland and Shannon Development in the region, and I wish the staff the very best in their new role. Shannon Development has played a vitally important role in the development of the mid-west region. I note its innovation in tourism and in other areas, using a sensible approach which has secured its future and the future of the region. The two bodies have worked together using a united approach and I commend the Bill to the House.
Mr. Hanafin Mr. Hanafin
Mr. Hanafin: I wish to share my time with Senator Daly.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach An Leas-Chathaoirleach
An Leas-Chathaoirleach: Is that agreed? Agreed.
Mr. Hanafin Mr. Hanafin
Mr. Hanafin: I welcome the Minister to the House. This is a technical Bill and I support the recommendation of the enterprise strategy group and the new mandate for Shannon Development. The indigenous industry support functions carried out by Shannon Development under delegated authority from Enterprise Ireland will revert to Enterprise Ireland on 1 January 2007. The reversion of these functions will also involve the transfer of about 40 staff from Shannon Development to Enterprise Ireland.
This Bill provides me with an opportunity to commend Shannon Development for a success that has been emulated by many other countries [1128]since 1959, when it was first established. In 1960, the Shannon free zone established the duty free area, which was carried from Abu Dhabi to Moscow as a success story. Successive Fianna Fáil Governments can be commended for duty free and tax free initiatives. In a recent report in The Economist, it was stated that at present, the GDP per person in Ireland is far ahead of our neighbours. This is a continuing success story and even when we take purchasing power parity into account, there has been enormous success. The Minister and the Government can take the credit for this.
I hope this success continues with today's budget. We have come a long way since 1959 and the original Barrington report in the 1960s, which showed that Ireland had severe economic difficulties, with many people emigrating, many not getting married and many with no opportunity. That has all changed. People are not only talking about jobs and career paths, but also about taking a few years' out to travel the world. Long may it last.
In 1963, the major tourism initiative began at Bunratty Castle. In 1964, the first international consultancy assignments were undertaken. In 1968, Shannon got responsibility for all regional inward industrial investment. In 1972, the foundation of what is now the University of Limerick occurred. In 1978, the first small and medium enterprise pilot programme was launched. In 1980, an innovation centre for indigenous high technology firms was opened. In 1984, the national technology park commenced operations. In 1986, Shannon Development established Shannon Heritage Limited and the Limerick food centre opened. In 1990, the Shannon world aviation park opened.
In 1994, the pilot programme of Shannon venture capital was initiated. In 1997, direct marketing centres were successfully launched. In 1999, Kerry Technology Park was launched. In 2001, the Limerick navigation system and marina was opened. In 2002, Doonbeg Golf Club was opened. In 2003, Shannon broadband was launched and Birr Technology Centre was opened in 2003.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: Sweet Doonbeg is a pleasant spot.
Mr. Hanafin Mr. Hanafin
Mr. Hanafin: In 2004, e-towns were launched and Limerick broadband networks were completed. Technology was boosted in different areas and heritage attractions have been developed at Bunratty Folk Park. The living past centre has been developed at Craggaunowen, which opened in 1970. It has been a marvellous success story. I wish the Minister well. He will continue the good work. Transferring staff to Enterprise Ireland is a good idea because they are all under one roof. I wish continuing success to Shannon Development.
Mr. Daly Mr. Daly
[1129] Mr. Daly: I thank Senator Hanafin for giving me the opportunity to comment briefly on the Bill and I welcome the Minister to the House. We were apprehensive about this when it was initially announced, but after some discussion with the Minister and with Shannon Development we are very satisfied that a resolution has been found to allay the fears that some staff had about the transfer. In making this arrangement, it consolidates the organisation of the industry in a way which will be better for the region in the long term. It will also be better for Shannon Development and Enterprise Ireland.
I am glad that Enterprise Ireland has taken the decision to decentralise to Shannon and that it has placed its new offices for the enterprise boards in the Shannon area. This will be very important for the long-term interests of the enterprise boards. This Bill makes a firm decision on long-terms prospects and that is good for the region. There has been much anxiety in the region, due to changes at Shannon Airport and the development of the new airport authorities.
The Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism recently endorsed Shannon Development's role in the tourism industry, which is also very important. Some local input into the work of Shannon Development in tourism would be a good thing. Many people in the region hold the view that while the board has done a very good job and highly skilled personnel are involved in that area, there is a necessity for some local input and some involvement by local authorities. An example is Shannonside, which was abolished in 1989 when much re-organisation took place to get better value for money.
I hope that the personnel in Enterprise Ireland will take a more positive view of relocating to Shannon. Shannon has been a success story for relocation long before this recent announcement was made. The vehicle registration unit of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government relocated to Shannon, which has been a great success. The people in that office had the opportunity to avail of a better lifestyle, with far less traffic problems than in this city. Personnel at Enterprise Ireland should look favourably at moving to our region, one of the most attractive in Ireland. I am sorry to say this in the presence of Senator Coghlan from Killarney, but we do not give away any jewels on the tourism crown of the west coast of Clare.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: I am glad that the justifiable fears of the good people of Clare have been allayed.
Mr. Daly Mr. Daly
Mr. Daly: We are satisfied that this move will be successful. I wish the Minister well in getting it expedited. He will have my support in getting it through the House.
Mr. Kitt Mr. Kitt
Mr. Kitt: I welcome the Minister to the House and I also welcome the Bill. There are numerous precedents to bringing one agency under another. [1130] There were some worries about this case, but those worries have since been eased and I wish the people of Shannon Development the best of luck. Coming from Galway, I often looked on in envy at Shannon because we did not have the same development until the city and county development boards were created. They are now doing tremendous work and I am glad to see that the city and county development boards in the mid west will also have their offices in Shannon.
has been the creation of enterprise centres. They are the new advance factories, because that concept is probably gone. The enterprise centres set up by Enterprise Ireland have been very successful and today's budget will be of great benefit in setting up more of those centres.
I congratulate the Minister and the Government on the budget. It was very much pro-industry and small business in particular. I want to see more involvement in those centres.
One query I have about this issue is that Enterprise Ireland does not sufficiently investigate where it can get sites or buildings for these small industries. I chair a committee of Deputies and Senators from the west. In conjunction with the Council of the West, we have met on a number of occasions and we are very glad Enterprise Ireland is to meet us. I welcome that initiative as well because it is very important. There is no excuse for agencies such as this not visiting different centres, given the early flights available between Dublin and Galway and Shannon. There are many opportunities to hold such meetings and they can all be accommodated in one day, the intention being to discuss how best industry may be promoted in our area. That is one of the developments I gladly welcome.
I recall that we spent 26 years on a committee trying to get a rail corridor which, thankfully, is now being begun to be built between Ennis and Athenry. Fr. Mícheál MacGréil would often say it was a pity Iarnród Éireann would not meet us. We tried for a long time and, eventually, its representatives flew into Knock Airport, we had some great discussions and this helped in getting the ultimate Government decision to open the western rail corridor.
I would like to see the same thing happening with these bodies. I hope the good work done by Shannon Development is recognised. It is possible to have a satisfactory transition as happened when other bodies were subsumed into larger agencies or Departments. If the work Shannon Development has done can be done by Enterprise Ireland, so much the better and I welcome the Minister's continual interest in setting up more enterprise centres.
Mr. Martin Mr. Martin
Mr. Martin: I thank all the Senators for their contributions. I appreciate very much the very positive support the Bill has received in the Seanad.
[1131]We consulted widely across the area. Trade unions representing workers were anxious to discuss matters with us. We facilitated such discussion and it is good to see we have achieved a significant degree of consensus on the way forward in terms of the indigenous sector. Given the significant restructuring that has taken place within Enterprise Ireland, it is important to have a national remit and that the people and companies in the mid-west can benefit from this and from the enhancement of skills that will be on offer. For example, Enterprise Ireland has a strong capacity in terms of research and development technology supports for small enterprises. In the years to come it will be in a stronger position to deploy these advantages to the companies in the mid-west.
Likewise, the international agenda through sales and marketing has been highlighted in a variety of forums including the enterprise strategy group. It is important that companies in the mid-west have better access to the resources Enterprise Ireland has internationally in 34 locations across the globe. They can participate in the new divisions of Enterprise Ireland, be part of the productivity funding and have access to a variety of other advantages. There was significant access through Shannon Development, as well.
Shannon Development, as we know from the infrastructure within the mid-west, has achieved an enormous amount for the region in more than 40 years. Given the changing nature of industry, globalisation etc., the time was right, however, for moves towards innovation and research. The types of supports Enterprise Ireland has in house, especially in technology supports, research and development and in terms of international sales and marketing skills will have a full national remit and companies in the mid-west will have unrestricted and comprehensive access. Employment of companies in the mid-west will benefit as a result of this move.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: We hope the Minister is right.
Mr. Martin Mr. Martin
Mr. Martin: Senator Daly touched on a very important point in terms of the new mandate I have given Shannon Development, and not just in the context of this Bill. Certainty and opportunity have been achieved for the workers. A national organisation for workers who may be interested in new opportunities is on offer. There is far more opportunity in the immediate future in the context of the Enterprise Ireland structure than may have been available under Shannon Development, and that is important. I take on board what Senator Daly said about the attractions of the Shannon and mid-west region, which I do not doubt.
Mr. Coghlan Mr. Coghlan
Mr. Coghlan: I do not doubt them either, but I believe he knew that anyway.
Mr. Martin Mr. Martin
[1132] Mr. Martin: I have asked Shannon Development to look at other areas within its region. Parts of Clare, perhaps, that might not have developed as well as the Shannon area might be focused on, as well as north Tipperary, parts of Offaly and west Limerick. These are important areas that need particular attention because in some of them, traditional indigenous manufacturing has declined. In that regard we need to concentrate on the small business opportunities for such areas. I know Shannon Development is keen on that, through major projects such as Digital River, the major deep water facility and the proposed FEG initiative there. In my recent discussions with Shannon Development I was assured this was ongoing and I am quite satisfied with the progress that has been made. Senator Coghlan referred to that in the course of his address.
Senator Leyden made a broader point in the context of today's budget, which is very topical and appropriate to this debate. The range of measures announced today for the small and medium enterprises sector represents more than 100% of the recommendations of the small business forum, SBF. The SBF comprises representatives of small businesses as well as the agencies and that sets a good context and backdrop for the new structures we are putting in place which should facilitate the regions.
Senator Hanafin eloquently went through the history of Shannon Development and dealt with its contribution across different areas, from tourism to heritage and industry, and that point has been well made.
I accept what Senator Kitt had to say and Enterprise Ireland will be glad to meet him and his group. In fact, along with Enterprise Ireland, I addressed a large group of indigenous interests last year in Galway city. We also met small employer forums from Mayo and Galway to hear at first hand about the challenges they faced in setting up and running businesses in that region. We had frank exchanges with them which were facilitated by Enterprise Ireland and I look forward to continuing this type of approach of listening to what people at the coalface of business have to say. Senator Coghlan is no stranger to that, either, to be fair. I thank all the Senators for their co-operation.
Mr. Daly Mr. Daly
Mr. Daly: I thank the Minister for his reply to Second Stage of the Bill.
Question put and agreed to.
Committee Stage ordered for today.
Seanad Éireann 185 Industrial Development Bill 2006: Second Stage.
General Debate


text:
I've spent enough words on the Kings' absolute domination of the 2012 Playoffs so far. Last week, I wrote about how this team should never be referred to as an underdog story or an overachiever. On Wednesday, I wrote about the Kings' 10-1 start to the post-season and how it was one of the best in the last 30 years.
With their 2-1 Game 3 win over the Coyotes on Thursday night, L.A. has now matched the 1983 Oilers and the 1995 Red Wings as the only teams since 1980 to start the playoffs 11-1.
The catch is that neither of those two teams won the Stanley Cup that season. The '83 Oilers were swept in the Stanley Cup Final by the Islanders, while the '95 Red Wings were swept by the Devils in the Final.
The question left to be asked is does early domination in the post-season, and subsequently, a large number of days off between rounds, eventually catch up to a team instead of helping them?
In 1983, the Oilers had five days off between rounds one and two, four days off between rounds two and three, and then a full week off between round three and the Cup Final (16 total between-series days off).
In 1995, the Red Wings had six days off between the first two rounds, five days off between the second and third rounds and then another six days off before the Final (17 total between-series days off).
So far this year, the Kings have already had between-series breaks of six days and seven days. If they finish off the Coyotes in a sweep on Sunday, I believe they could end up with a double-digit day break between the West Final and the Cup Final, assuming the Rangers and Devils go six or seven games (which they very well could). That would make for an unprecedented number of total days off in one post-season run.
Of course, the demise of the '83 Oilers and the '95 Red Wings may have been nothing more than simply running into better teams in the Final (though it's hard to say the '95 Devils looked much better than the Red Wings before the Final), but it does make for an interesting comparison.
Then again, if the Kings do complete the sweep on Sunday, these comparisons might be moot points anyway, because the only teams to ever start a post-season 12-1 were the 1967-68 Canadiens and the 1975-76 Habs, both of whom went 12-1 over three rounds to win the Stanley Cup.
Now here are your morning links:
- After the game, the Kings' personnel were doing a dry run for a trophy presentation (via @mikegrose). I'm not sure if this was a sarcastic photo caption or actual trophy presentation prep, but if it really was, then between their social media team and their ice personnel, the Kings' behind the scenes crew is as bold as the hockey team itself.
- It was a King who led the Kings to their Game 3 victory (Puck Daddy). As in Dwight King, who took home the game's first star.
- Dave Tippett wasn't too pleased with the officiating in Game 3 (NBC Sports). "If I told you what I really thought, it would cost me a lot of money."
- Greg Jamison and the NHL are moving ahead with their sale of the Coyotes (Phoenix Business Journal). The Glendale City Council has no vote scheduled yet, however.
- Mike Gillis says there will be no rushed decisions on Alain Vigneault and Roberto Luongo (The Province).
- The Oilers' announcement that Tom Renney's contract will not be renewed brings about the "end of an error" in Edmonton (HockeyBuzz.com). Now that's clever wording.
- The Rangers are flying some fans to New Jersey for Game 3 in style (ESPN). That all sounds pretty cool for the fans involved, and it should be the best 17 minutes of flying they ever experience.
- Is John Tortorella the smartest man in New York? (Sporting News)
- Doing hockey play-by-play presents challenges other sports don't (New York Daily News).
- On Thursday, Rogers and Bell looked to clear a last regulatory hurdle in their Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment purchase (Canada.com). The two Canadian telecom giants could close the deal "as early as later next month."
