Irish prime minister sells "unbeatable package" on Wall Street

Steady on Enda, just do not mention the words ' second multi-billion euro bailout loan'. Ireland Inc: G o l d m a n S a c h s greatest wet dream ever.

As if Ireland has any more money to fritter away with pretentious American Corporations availing of any funds they can get their hands on........How did he sell a country that's insolvent several times over..........The guy is living ion lala land.

I think what he is doing is great but not going far enough. There are many companies which are headquartered in Texas but few from Enterprise Ireland bother to come down here and have a look see. Explains in a nutshell why Britain is reeling in these firms for themselves. But Britain has a Consulate in Houston and an honorary in San Antonio. Ireland needs to wake up and see what is on the other side of the fence.

I'm no fan of Kenny and I realise a lot of people are still hurting from the GFC but we do need to get out and sell the positives to the world and that is what Kenny is doing.The smart ar@e comments are part of the negativity of those who wish Ireland to fail.On this occasion Kenny "Well Done". A plague on the naysayers.

Right on KevinPK- see my post below,a lot of people bark ,but have no concrete ideas.There are too many people out there who dis the relationship with the US when we seem to be one of the few countries investing in Ireland

Sometimes, some of the comments from readers frustrate me. Why the negativity?!?!? And why the personal attacks?!? It is so easy for some people to slander with the pen (or keyboard) when we all know they would never have the courage to say it to the person's face. The Prime Minister looks fine and his message is that he wants others to invest in Ireland's future! There is not a thing wrong with that! Try supporting him rather than criticizing him. Slainte!!

Why does he have to look like a demented Leprechaun in the picture? Ireland does not have a well educated work force - not that this that important to multinationals. The only interest multinationals have in Ireland is the ability to pay little or no tax on earnings.

I know I probably shouldn't say this but he looks a little like a leprechaun in that photo. Geez, between him and Michael D, we don't have the best looking ambassadors for Ireland, do we... As for what he has to say - if it results in some good jobs being generated in Ireland, then it can't be that bad.

esatdigiwank What the hell is 'Ireland Inc'It means Sovereign Eire is now a corportaion like USA Inc

hey esatdigiwank he has to start some where-Maybe he should speak to a lowly community activist from Chicago who nver developed a thing!Should he stand on a corner begging?You seem to slam all he does where are your brilliant ideas?

What the hell is 'Ireland Inc'?? And so the Wall St sharks with gratitude get to know in person the twat who has Ireland in hock to the unwarranted debt of foreign banks for the next 3 decades.. Lets add some appositedly omitted speech: "Because Ireland has a young, highly educated...workforce 'the bulk of which are not multi-lingual so inward Third World immigration must fill the vacancies of which to you we are so grateful for.. "A new land of opportunity to investors ' now that we must flog off state assets on the cheap to offset the interest payments on our emergency €85bn external loan'". "Ireland as a center of excellence for green finance.." , we know the euphemisim 'centers of excellences' by now; don't hold your breath..For 'green', you could read 'sharia/islam'. "Grow our economy". We cannot create indigenous industry, native jobs, so we must nab a few hundred off you Stateside every now and again..Have you seen how sh#tty our GNP really is?? Still turning a corner.
