Global Irish Economic Forum starts in Dublin

A summit taking place in Dublin today will try to find ways for Ireland to redevelop its economy.

Over 270 figures connected with Ireland have travelled from around the world to the Global Irish Economic Forum.

The forum is focussed on job creation in sectors like technology, food, education and financial services.

Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore said this year's event is not about the big picture, but about the fine details of Ireland's recovery.
