CILT Ireland was delighted to host a Chinese delegation of 32 individuals to Dublin on 20 June. That morning, the group enjoyed a tour of Ballycoolin Industrial Estate as the cohort were interested to see the layout and scale of an industrial estate in North Dublin.
After lunch in the city centre, the group had a meeting at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (DTTAS) to meet Ray O’Leary, Assistant Secretary and Alan Power Assistant Principal, Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. The meeting was an idea exchange between all parties as to how the Irish economy is working on projects,

infrastructure and strategies and how opportunities and alliances can be formed between the two countries. Through translator Penny Pu both Ray and Alan gave presentations to the delegation who found this interesting and informative.
Following the departure from DTTAS the group attended cultural events in Guinness Storehouse and sampled a pint of the famous black stuff. To end the evening all enjoyed a social gathering at Celtic Nights at the Arlington Hotel.
Many thanks to Tim Daly CILT President, Finbarr Cleary International Vice President and especially to CILT Office Staff who organised the day and evening.
