Michael Noonan: Investment is still strong

Finance Minister Michael Noonan says he expects the US regime under Donald Trump to overhaul its tax system but added that foreign investment here remains strong.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Noonan also revealed that firms from Britain inquiring about moving here are asking if there are good schools for their children.

His comments came after British prime minister Theresa May’s indication of a hard Brexit earlier this week and as the US prepared to see a new president in Washington yesterday.
