Policy for the games industry in Ireland – post your ideas

I see some minister, i think his name was Ahern, was over in Japan and Korea, saw what a great games industry they have and is quoted in this weeks MCV saying that Ireland is going to have a big games industry soon, hoping that there will be 3,500 jobs in the near future.
I’d like to be optomistic but does this guy really know what he is talking about ??
