Kenny NY-bound

The Taoiseach travels to New York tonight in the Government's latest attempt to show that Ireland is open for business.

Enda Kenny will attend the Annual State 1916 Commemoration ceremonies at Arbour Hill in Dublin this morning and then take questions in Dáil before heading to the US.

He will spend just a little over 24 hours there where he will hold a round of meetings, visit the stock exchange and meet with IDA client companies.

His trip will coincide with President Obama's visit to Ground Zero tomorrow.
