Economy is on the rise, says chamber chief

Ireland’s economy is entering a phoenix stage and the president of Cork Chamber, John Mullins, wants everyone to “be confident and be part of it”.

In his address to the Cork Chamber annual dinner Mr Mullins declared: “There is no reason why Ireland’s economy cannot be called the phoenix economy of the mid to late decade. Out of the ashes of the Celtic tiger comes a resilient nation that is driven by a true national spirit. A spirit that was very evident this week following the death of a true public servant, Detective Garda Adrian Donohue, while he was protecting the business of our land.”

Mr Mullins said Ireland’s economy is starting to propel forward.
