Boost US business contacts, urge groups

RE-ENERGISED trade with the US will be a key component in Ireland’s economic recovery according to the IBEC director general Turlough O’Sullivan.

The chief of the employers’ union said Ireland must build its business networks in the US now so its long-term unique relationship is strengthened.

“We are entering a new era of transatlantic relations with a new US administration, against a backdrop of global economic downturn,” he said.
