Economic Environment

Ireland's progress has been remarkable by any standards. With a young educated population, favourable corporate tax rates and an infrastructure bolstered by EU structural funds, the economy has grown by 51% since 1995. Economic forecasts show the company continuing to grow at a rate exceeding the European average.

In fact, since 1980, Ireland has attracted 40% of all US electronic investment in Europe. In I.T. the story is similar and the country is now recognised as the European market leader in software, producing 40% of all packaged PC software sold in Europe.
