Another consequential year has passed during which we have seen elections and changes in Government administrations in Ireland and in the United States. We have also seen changes that may affect Northern Ireland’s relations with the United States with the decision by Great Britain to exit the European Union despite a majority of those in Northern Ireland expressing the desire to remain Brian W.

We live in interesting times and our hope is that during the coming year we will see a deepening of the commercial connections and business ties between Ireland and the United States. At this time each year, it is incumbent upon us to say how thankful we are for the support and participation received during this past year from Council members and from so many benefactors, patrons and sponsors. The encouragement, assistance and support you have offered has been very heartening. It has also been crucial in helping us to continue the organization’s roster of programs and activities during this past year. Because of your help, we have been enabled to engage the core mission of the organization in meaningful ways. In working to enhance and strengthen those important business bonds and commercial connections between the United States and Ireland, we hope to make a worthwhile contribution to the betterment of the economic circumstances of all the people in the United States and in Ireland, north and south. Improved and expanded investment, trade and tourism in both directions between America and Ireland is not a zero-sum game – it betters the lives, livelihoods and economic circumstances of everybody. Tonight, we are delighted to present the Council’s Award for Outstanding Achievement to a distinguished businessman Willie Walsh, who is driving the fortunes of one of the world’s great airline groups – IAG – that includes some of aviation’s most iconic brands – British Airways, Iberia and, of course, Aer Lingus which has invested heavily in developing, sustaining and expanding the vital air bridge that connects Ireland and Europe across the Atlantic with the United States. The very important business links that connect America and Ireland in capital investment, trade, tourism, technology transfer and so much more have flourished during this past year. These are durable, tangible and resilient connections that require intelligent attention and systematic nurturing.
