On Thursday, September 22nd, the CalChamber met with Consul General of Ireland in San Francisco, Micheál Smith, during his first trip to Sacramento after beginning his post in August of 2022. The group discussed the importance of Irish-California relations and agreed to continue their ongoing working relationship.
In 2021, California was a top exporting state to Ireland, providing 16.4% of total U.S. exports to the country. Two-way trade between the U.S. and Ireland totaled $87.2 billion in 2021. Ireland is the fourth fastest-growing source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the U.S. with investment totaling $353 billion in 2021. Ireland was the seventh largest source of FDI in California in the same year, providing over 30,000 jobs in the state. There are approximately 2.2 million Californians of Irish descent.
