Anti-immigration rhetoric coming from the White House is deterring software developers from going to the US.
That's according to the world's youngest self-made billionaire, 27-year-old Irishman John Collison.
Stripe, the company he founded with his brother Patrick, provides the payments plumbing for hundreds of thousands of online businesses.
Collison said that his fast-growing business had noticed the difficulty in luring top talent to Silicon Valley.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the Limerick man said he feared the same may prove true for the UK because of Brexit.
"People are less willing to move to the US," Collison said. "They don't even want to enter the visa process because of the perceived political climate here and how welcoming it is to immigrants and I think the perception (of the UK) will also make it harder to recruit in the UK"

You were too quick for me!
I have recently started playing Go and the game seems to be a living thing.
The more you play, the more it teaches.
There are indeed "ghosts" in the board - the spirits of past Masters.
