Considering the people in the US, I visited Cleveland recently, which was a major industrial area in the early 20th century before going into decline. It is rebounding and many international companies are based there. The Taoiseach was there recently and in a way I was following up. It seemed people were only getting turned on to the idea of Ireland as a place to invest and locate companies based on that trade mission led by the Taoiseach. Are there enough resources in the US to capitalise on the potential that still exists there?
