Bill Clinton to help Ireland drum up investor cash at NY conference

Bill Clinton will attempt today to drum up business for Ireland at a special investment conference in New York being attended by the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Enterprise Minister.

The conference follows on from a commitment given by the former US president at the Global Irish Economic Forum held in Dublin Castle last year.

At that event, Mr Clinton said there was plenty of cash to be tapped in the US and that the Government ought to be targeting investors who “you know are rolling in dough”.
