The Irish Minister of State for European Affairs, Lucinda Creighton, is in New York this week to attend a Bloomberg conference on sovereign debt.


Creighton intends to use the opportunity to outline Irish economic progress and highlight the important trading relationship between the U.S. and the European Union. 
 
“I am delighted to be able to participate in this event. It is important to recognize the extent of the trading relationship between not just Ireland and the U.S. but also between the EU and U.S.,” Creighton said.
