Taoiseach: Ireland Inc still open for business

IRELAND remains open for business, despite the deepening economic depression, Taoiseach Brian Cowen told an IDA Ireland dinner in Davos, Switzerland, last night.

While visiting the World Economic Forum annual gathering, Mr Cowen said we are facing the most difficult global economic conditions in 70 years.

“We won’t be found wanting when it comes to ensuring that Ireland is well placed to meet the needs of business in the new era unfolding around us — Ireland remains well and truly open for business.”
