Photograph: Leon Neal/Getty Images The Friends of Ireland caucus is comprised of both Republican and Democratic representatives. One of those, New York Republican Representative Nicole Malliotakis, will serve on the incoming Ways and Means Committee.
Acknowledging recently-voiced Irish concerns over the potential impact of US imports and tariffs and potential changes to the corporation tax, Malliotakis expressed reservations at Ireland’s involvement in the OECD global tax deal. The argument that the slow decline of Ireland’s influence in the US is gathering pace is reflected in the sharp drop of Irish immigrants to the US and also the diminishing number of overtly American-Irish political figures on Capitol Hill.
“Certainly at these events a lot of business does take place and a lot of relationship building,” says Rep Malliotakis.
