This morning the Irish Times reported that the Government has invited Denis O’Brien, above, to the Global Irish Economic Forum in Dublin Castle on October 4th and 5th. The paper is now reporting Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore as saying:

 “All of the members of the global Irish network are invited to attend the forum. Mr O’Brien has been a member of the global Irish network since 2009. We don’t make any distinction between any of the members of the global Irish network and an invitation was issued to all of them without exception,” Mr Gilmore said.

There you go, now.
