Madam, – Congratulations to Frank Ryan, chief executive of Enterprise Ireland, for his organisation’s part in creating the “comeback economy”, and for bringing the details to our attention (Business Opinion, March 7th). He delivers a clear message, with no wasted verbiage, offering facts that should be understood by native and “international serial entrepreneurs” alike, as well as students who may be disheartened because the important stories of growing success are going untold and ignored in the domestic and international discourse on Ireland.
He highlights Ireland in various and diverse categories as “largest in the world” “second largest exporter” “fifth largest exporter”. By other standards he tells us we are first, fourth and eighth in world rankings.
Following his advice, this is the time to “dream the dreams” and restore our “international reputation”. Yes we can! – Yours, etc,
