The Irish Echo Newspaper recently announced the selection of its top ten ?Leading U.S. Companies in Ireland? from a total of 400. At a dinner at The Kildare Hotel and Country Club in Ireland, Irish Echo awards were made by publisher Claire O?Gara Grimes, assisted by U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Michael Sullivan.

Criteria for this distinction were: impact on the Irish economy, employment levels, community involvement, and environmental integrity.

The companies acknowledged were: Abbott Ireland, Citibank, Compaq Computer Corporation, Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, Intel Ireland Limited, Microsoft European Operations, Schering-Plough and Thermo-King Europe.

The announcement coincided with the distribution of the Irish Echo?s June magazine supplement ?IE?, devoted exclusively to business. Included are listings of the ?Leading U.S. Companies in Ireland,? the 103 U.S. companies in Northern Ireland, plus the 170 Irish companies located in the U.S.

The Irish Echo?s ?Leading U.S.Companies in Ireland? was sponsored by the Ireland Chamber of Commerce in the U.S., and CEO Maurice A. Buckley concluded the evening with a report of ICCUSA?s Venture Capital Conference in Dublin.

Photographer STa Byrne was on hand to capture the action.
