IRELAND is still viewed as a long-term growth-orientated country and remains highly ranked in terms of foreign direct investment locations, an international banking conference in Dublin heard yesterday.

Addressing the inaugural national conference of the Federation of International Banks in Ireland, IDA Ireland chief executive, Barry O’Leary, said confidence still exists among US investors, regarding Ireland.

He added that the US will remain Ireland’s chief source of foreign direct investment in the coming years.
