US investment in Ireland set to go hush hush

EXPECT few job announcements from US companies in Ireland until after November 6, 2012.

This does not mean that US companies will not create jobs here between now and the election of the next president of the United States and 33 US senators in November 2012 — they will.

However, US companies will, for the most part, keep very quiet about their overseas investments in Ireland and other countries.
