Ireland’s international reputation

Summary

Ireland’s improved bond status and stronger foreign-investment prospects are credited to the diplomatic service.

It is important to note that we have had very good news on the international front with the upgrading of Ireland’s status and the increased ability of foreign investors to invest in Irish bonds. That is very important. It is a real testament to the great work of a very few diplomats and staff in our embassies and consular and diplomatic network. The Minister has often spoken about the huge contribution they have made. This expansion is welcome because it will provide greater potential for more positive work in enhancing Ireland’s reputation internationally.
