Taoiseach invited to visit China

The Taoiseach has been invited to visit China at the end of March.

The invitation came during an official dinner with the future leader of China, Vice President Xi Jin Ping on his State visit.

Enda Kenny earlier told Mr. Xi that Ireland and China have much to offer each other in terms of food, agriculture, high technology research and investment.

The two leaders are to sign new trade agreements aimed at making it easier for Irish firms to sell to the Chinese market.

However, the government's been accused of failing to highlight human rights abuses in China.

The Anti-War Movement says it's disappointed by the coalition's 'indulgent' treatment of China.
