organisations increase cooperation
CHAMBERS IRELAND AND THE NORTHERN IRELAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY have announced a strengthening of cooperation between the two organisations, which represent the all-island business community. The launch of the formal affiliation between the two Chambers took place at a side event on July 4th following the North-South Ministerial Council at Dublin Castle and was attended by Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. Speaking at the announcement, Ian Talbot, Chief Executive Chambers Ireland said: “ This new relationship is timely as the business community on the island needs a strong voice during the uncertainty arising from the UK referendum on EU membership.”
