Northern Ireland Developing Economic Ties with the US

(07 Dec 07 - RV) Northern Ireland’s first and deputy first ministers are meeting President George W. Bush today at the White House. The encounter follows the formation of a new government in the province in May. The meeting will cap a five day visit by both Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness which has been aimed primarily at encouraging U.S. investment in Northern Ireland.
A proposal has already been put forward that formal links be established between the assembly in Belfast and the U.S. Congress. We spoke to Belfast based policy analyst Robin Wilson about the visit.
