HOW DID IRELAND AFFECT THE US? After always being accused for having a poor

industry and infrastructure, in 2004 Ireland announced plans to invest 5% of it’s Gross National Product for the next several years for creating and repairing transportation.

This affects the US because they are import partners with Ireland, so since Ireland imports the needs for building and repairing transportation, the US will be selling lots of goods to Ireland
