To Download the 2019 Annual Report WELCOME Welcome to the 57th Anniversary Dinner of the Ireland-U.S. Council. I wish to offer greetings to all our members and their guests on this important anniversary when we celebrate our continued engagement of the core mission we have set for ourselves of strengthening closer commercial connections and enhancing better business bonds between America and Ireland. As it happens, this is a Golden Age for the economic relationships between our two countries. This past year has been a year of great Brian W. Stack economic progress in both the United States and in Ireland. From the neat vantage point which we in the Ireland-U.S. Council occupy, we are afforded a generous, big-picture overview of the state of Ireland-U.S. economic relations. The very important business links that connect America and Ireland in capital investment, trade, tourism, and technology transfer have never been in more robust health. The Ireland-U.S. Council is a membership organization. We must always underline how thankful we are for the support and participation received during this past year from Council members and from our benefactors, patrons and sponsors. The support you have offered has been crucial in sustaining the organization’s roster of programs and activities during this past year. Because of your support, we have been enabled to continue our work which we believe makes a worthwhile contribution to the betterment of the economic circumstances of all the people in the United States and in Ireland, north and south. We continue to believe, with good reason, that improved and expanded investment, trade and tourism in both directions between America and Ireland betters the lives, livelihoods and economic circumstances of everyone. Our hope is that in the coming year, the Ireland-U.S. Council can continue to assist the process of strengthening and expanding those bonds that brings America and Ireland closer.

Our task is to deliver the Government’s economic development strategies cost effectively. Our aim is to strengthen the economy and help it grow by supporting business development, increasing the level of exports, attracting high quality inward investment, and stimulating a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. Specifically we want to increase business productivity (defined as Gross Value Added (GVA) per employee)1, which is around 20 per cent lower than the UK average. GVA is the contribution each employee makes to the economy and increasing it will help to generate wealth for the benefit of the whole community. Our Clients Invest NI focuses its resources on projects that have the greatest potential to generate economic growth and prosperity. To be eligible for financial assistance, a project must be viable, show a need for Invest NI support, and generate a positive return to the economy. To qualify as an Invest NI client a business must meet certain criteria. It should be able to demonstrate that currently, or over the next three years, it will have: • total sales of over £100,000 per year; and • sales outside Northern Ireland greater than 25 per cent of turnover, or greater than £250,000 a year.

  • The Building of the State the Buildingucd and the Royal College of Scienceof on Merrionthe Street
    The Building of the State The BuildingUCD and the Royal College of Scienceof on Merrionthe Street. State UCD and the Royal College of Science on Merrion Street. The Building of the State Science and Engineering with Government on Merrion Street www.ucd.ie/merrionstreet Introduction Although the Government Buildings complex on Merrion Street is one of most important and most widely recognised buildings in Ireland, relatively few are aware of its role in the history of science and technology in the country. At the start of 2011, in preparation for the centenary of the opening of the building, UCD initiated a project seeking to research and record that role. As the work progressed, it became apparent that the story of science and engineering in the building from 1911 to 1989 mirrored in many ways the story of the country over that time, reflecting and supporting national priorities through world wars, the creation of an independent state and the development of a technology sector known and respected throughout the world. All those who worked or studied in the Royal College of Science for Ireland or UCD in Merrion Street – faculty and administrators, students and porters, technicians and librarians – played a part in this story. All those interviewed as part of this project recalled their days in the building with affection and pride. As chair of the committee that oversaw this project, and as a former Merrion Street student, I am delighted to present this publication as a record of UCD’s association with this great building. Professor Orla Feely University College Dublin Published by University College Dublin, 2011.
