On his first visit to Ireland as Business Secretary, Dr Cable gave the opening keynote address at the inaugural annual conference of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce which was held in the impressive surroundings of the home of the Irish national rugby and football teams, the Aviva Stadium.
The conference, which attracted 300 attendees, was the first such event organised by the chamber since its inception two years ago.
