Amharc ar fhreagraI travelled to Davos, Switzerland, to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, from 23 to 25 January. The World Economic Forum annual meeting is attended by political and business leaders and heads of international organisations. The theme of this year's meeting was 'Resilient Dynamism'.
While in Davos I held bilaterals with a number of my counterparts and with leaders of several major multinational firms. I used this opportunity to set out Ireland's EU Presidency priorities and to promote Ireland as a location for international business and investment.
