#Ireland has had to abandon its anti-Trump agenda. As Ian O'Doherty writes:

            "More than 250,000 Irish people are directly employed by US companies, with hundreds of thousands more relying on these firms indirectly. The billions they provide in tax revenue is the fuel which keeps Ireland’s otherwise moribund economy on the road. If they go, any hope for future Irish prosperity goes with them and it would a be a genuine national disaster."
