County Cork mayor leading business delegation to three US cities

A Cork business and tourism delegation will be in the US this week, hoping the St Patrick’s Day spirit will unlock American goodwill.

County mayor, Cllr John Paul O’Shea, is leading the delegation on a three-city programme in Chicago, Detroit, and New York.

This follows the recent visit to County Hall of a political and business delegation from Jiangsu province, in China. The Chinese have since expressed interest in deepening connections in the food, pharmaceutical, and educational sectors.
