Ireland ‘represents exceptional and unique opportunity for investment’

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday told US business leaders the tough economic adjustments made by his government means Ireland now “represents a truly unique and exceptional opportunity for investment”.

But he warned opponents at home against the tendency to succumb to “troughs of despair”.

Mr Kenny was speaking at the Invest in Ireland Forum in New York University after an earlier roundtable meeting aimed at encouraging investment in Ireland’s economic recovery was hosted by Bill Clinton.
