When I hear references to Ireland being the most open economy in the world, I wonder if I am living in the same country. Senator Leyden, whom I understand to be Fianna Fáil's Seanad spokesman on matters such as trade, has suggested that we should draw a cordon sanitaire around the country. He thinks we should con people from other countries into coming to Ireland by failing to tell them about its problems. Contrary to what people think, one has to win the trust of those one is doing business with if one is to do business successfully.
