Facebook chief praises our 'brilliant leader' Enda Kenny
/>FACEBOOK chief Sheryl Sandberg lavished praise on Ireland and the Taoiseach in a significant vote of confidence for the country's economic recovery.
Hours after it was confirmed that the Facebook chief operating officer had become one of the world's youngest billionaires, she enjoyed a face to face meeting with Enda Kenny in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
As part of the World Economic Forum, Mr Kenny took the opportunity to reassure Facebook that Ireland's corporate tax rate would not change.
And Ms Sandberg later responded with a positive message of her own – describing Mr Kenny as a "brilliant leader of a brilliant country".
Mr Kenny also told Ms Sandberg that he would open Facebook's new headquarters in Dublin's docklands in the autumn.
It has been a good week for the chief operating officer of the world's most popular social-networking service who owns about 12.3 million shares of the company, which finished at a record high of $58.51 in New York on Wednesday.
It contributes to making the 44-year-old one of the youngest female billionaires in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
