The Global Irish Network The establishment of a permanent global network of those invited to the Global Irish Economic Forum at Farmleigh and other influential members of the Diaspora was identified as an important objective by Forum participants. Over 300 people from 37 countries accepted an invitation to join the Network which provides an important framework through which they could contribute to delivering renewed economic growth in Ireland.The Network includes some of the most influential Irish and Irish-connected individuals abroad and provides Ireland with an invaluable resource of international expertise from which we can draw as we work towards economic recovery. Those invited have demonstrated a strong connection to Ireland and have a record of high achievement in international business or in assisting in the promotion of Ireland. The Network provides an additional resource for the Government and State Agencies in promoting Ireland’s economic, cultural and tourism messages in key markets. The Network was launched in February 2010 and regional meetings of the Network were hosted by Ministers in Britain, France, Germany, the US, China and Australia. In its first year of operations three broad areas or functions characterised the work of the Network: an advisory and facilitation function; a mechanism for disseminating information about the Irish economy and other significant developments; and its use as a means of delivering, or assisting with the delivery, of specific initiatives.
