If you’re wondering where Leo Clancy the former boss of Enterprise Ireland went when he stepped down from the State exporting body last year. The went to Shannon to run the largest indigenous electronics manufacturing company in Ireland, the smoke alarm maker EI. 

EI is also one of the biggest employers west of the Shannon and it's a bell weather for the Irish exporting sector.  Joe caught up with Leo Clancy recently and I began by asking him what the big issues are for the global economy.
