At a meeting at the Mayor's office in Ennis today it was confirmed that 30 US Immigration staff are currently in the process of relocating to Clare and Limerick in anticipation of the CBP (Customs & Border Patrol) facility opening later this month on July 29.
Mayor of Clare Tony Mulcahy today received confirmation of the move during an hour-long meeting with the Deputy US Ambassador to Ireland, Mr. Robert J. Faucher.
Commenting on his hour-long meeting with Mr. Faucher at the offices of Clare County Council in Ennis today, the Mayor said: “We both agreed that the new facilities, once operational, will provide a significant boost for tourism and trade between the USA and Ireland. The Deputy Ambassador informed me that Ireland is the tenth highest investment location for US companies. This is especially encouraging in the current economic climate and I have no doubt that the new facilities at Shannon will further enhance commercial links between both countries.
