Irish in Silicon Valley outraged over advice to stay off boards of Irish companies

Foreigners on Irish boards are not welcome in Ireland and have been told such. They know nothing about the country and Ireland does not need US business people trying to superimpose inappropriate US methods on Ireland. They know nothing about the European Union either nor about EU business requirements. Very appropriate for them to stay in the US.

Irish American executives are heartily welcome (by me) to serve on boards here. Overseas expertise never needed more than now, rather than the bunglers we have who muddle, prevaricate, and ultimately botch-up. 'Overseas will bring with them less or none petty political baggage into the mix. But Ireland being the clannish set-up it is can only ever be this way. As David McWilliams put it - people in Ireland can be classed as either 'Insiders or 'Outsiders. sadly the 'Outsiders cannot ever be anything other so they leave/get the rebuff. The 'Outsider can never get back in. >>>> BytheBay sounds like an 'Insider, well he does appear to espouse that. Butlerreport is perfectly correct in what he says, imho.

butlerrreport, they're neither needed nor wanted in Ireland. Get over yourselves.

Ireland is afraid that these guys will show them up for what they are - incompetent, out of touch and pretending to be grow-ups. Sickening.

Stop the outrage, they don't want you and as such you'd never succeed doing anything. Accept reality and move on.

No matter the occupation or position of Irish natives or any other legal residents or U.S. citizen of San Jose, that city's work force has the burden of paying extra taxes to support all the illegal aliens who live there since 2007, when San Jose became a sanctuary city for those who unlawfully entered the U.S. and continue to violate our laws by residing here illigally.
