Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I raised the Irish economy, the public finances and the Government's wish and intention to return our economy to a strong growth and job creation agenda. She assured us of continued US support both on Northern Ireland and for our recovery efforts here. The meeting with her delegation, which comprised seven other representatives, covered a range of issues in respect of the diaspora, connections between Ireland and the US and so on. I certainly briefed her on the general programme of what we wish and she assured us of continued US support both here and for Northern Ireland.
