Mr O’Brien wanted to transport relief supplies into the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince and to evacuate his employees.

“We are finding it impossible to get landing slots to bring in communication equipment and engineers into Port au Prince,” Mr O’Brien said in an email to Mr Band.

“Is there any way you can give me a high-level introduction to someone in the State Department to get this resolved rapidly? I am so sorry to bother you but I am not making any progress through conventional channels.”

“This is Denis O’Brien, a friend of President Clinton and one of the largest employers and do-ers in Haiti, who also has been helping post-earthquake,” he told them.

Mr O’Brien, who has donated between $10 million (€9 million) and $25 million (€23 million) to the Clinton Foundation personally and through Digicel, defended his contacts with the foundation to seek assistance with the state department.

  • Built a Marriot hotel next to a poor Haitian neighborhood.

Truth be told, were it not for the adjacent Digicel corporate headquarters, the 12-story Marriott might have found a home elsewhere in Haiti’s capital. Or it may not have happened at all.

  • Schools

The Digicel Haiti Foundation announced last October that it has built its 100th school in Haiti, allowing thousands of children to learn in a safe environment on a daily basis. We have 30-40 people, surveyors and engineers, our own team that is actually doing the school building.

What we are trying to do there is basically ship prefabricated classrooms that you can get there by boat or by other means and drop them into areas where they are needed. THEY ARE MADE OUT OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS!
