Ireland still ‘top location’ for investment

IRELAND’S attractiveness to investors has been given a huge shot in the arm – 72% of independent international consultants believe Ireland is and will remain a top location for foreign investors.

The research was done by Hughes Blake, the chartered accountants and recovery firm which found another 55.6% said our reputation has not suffered “any more than other countries” from the banking crisis and the global economic downturn.

This research has been carried out among members of Integra International, which is the global association of independent accounting and financial consulting firms. They are currently in Dublin for their Global Conference and the survey was carried out among over 200 delegates who are advisers to 40,000 businesses worldwide.
