‘Ireland in good shape and going in right direction’

OUTGOING IDA chief executive Sean Dorgan said yesterday he was “positive and upbeat” about the future of inward investment to Ireland.

“The sky is not falling” he said in response to concerns that IDA Ireland might have lost its grip as the country started to lose some high profile investors, such as Motorola.

But Mr Dorgan, who quits his post in six months, stressed there was no room for complacency.
