Tycoon to back Irish medical start-ups
Limerickman to help firms gain access to US markets

Michael Dowling, who emigrated out of extreme poverty in Ireland in the 1950s and built up a massive not-for-profit health empire in the US, signed a partnership agreement with Taoiseach Enda Kenny in New York last week.
