Dubai, UAE. 10th January: Ireland’s high-level Trade and Investment mission to the region came to an end on a high note on January 9th at a reception organized by the Irish Business
Network (IBN) and held in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland and the Embassy of Ireland, UAE.
The mission, which was headed by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny T.D. and Richard Bruton, T.D., Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, attracted a huge number of Irish companies
keen to strengthen commercial ties with the region.
The IBN social event attracted over 550 guests to the Jumeirah Creekside Hotel where they enjoyed an Irish themed evening which included a welcome address from well-known
Galway man Colm McLoughlin, Executive Vice Chairman of Dubai Duty Free. Colm outlined the phenomenal growth of Dubai and Dubai Duty Free over the past 30 years, which has seen
the duty free operation grow from a US$20 million start-up in 1983 to a US$1.8 billion business, making it the largest single airport retailer in the world.
Ireland’s UAE Ambassador to the UAE, Patrick Hennessey introduced the Taoiseach, who provided the audience with an update on the Irish economy. The Taoiseach praised the
advanced level and major achievements of the UAE and stressed that the visit by the delegation heralded a strong start to establishing strategic economics links with the UAE.
In welcoming the Taoiseach and the delegation, IBN’s Chairman, Bernard Creed said: “This visit by An Taoiseach and Minister Bruton, coming hot on the heels of the visit by Minister
Coveney last October, underlines the importance of the G.C.C. to the Irish economy. We are delighted to have had such a high-level mission in the UAE and appreciate the commitment
shown by An Taoiseach and Minister Bruton in taking the time to meet the business and wider Irish community living here in the UAE.”
The evening concluded with the Taoiseach unveiling the IBN’s Job Portal which is aimed at encouraging UAE employers to tap into the growing Irish talent pool in the region. The Job
Portal is free for both employers and Irish job applicants who can apply for positions and post their CV’s online.
