Gee. And I seem to remember a whole *heap* of economic rationalist dribble
that this kind of thing wasn't needed, Irelands model of economic attraction
to chip-plants had no long-term benefit, etc etc.
What a shame. If the bloody system had not upped and died about 25 years ago
Australia WOULD ALREADY HAVE a world-class VLSI-ULSI plant (or two)
I guess it must be all that cheap sand we own.
