Dear Thomas,
Great to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words about the “Freedom of the City” of Dublin. I remember it was you that arranged for U2 to be given the freedom of Boston some years ago.
Please call when you’re next in Dublin and we’ll go for a pint.

Best wishes,
Paul McGuinness

The economic and employment future of Inishowen will increasingly come to depend on tourism and new investment. As Ireland ushers in “the new economy”, Inishowen is poised to benefit. The region, as a business destination, has much to offer. Quality of life issues, the new road transportation system, a direct link to Derry and other business incentives qualify Inishowen as a first class location.
