Taoiseach plays down Bruton’s treaty comments
He was responding to comments by former Taoiseach John Bruton, the EU ambassador to Washington. Mr Bruton said earlier this week that the US had been left “baffled” by the Irish rejection of the treaty, and felt Ireland was turning away from the EU.
“Clearly, companies that are already invested in Ireland and are doing well there are not going to be influenced by this sort of thing because they have their own independent sources of information, but I would expect that companies that are looking at a number of countries for the first time might be influenced by it,” he said.
