Hope 2014 will be fourth consecutive year of record investment and jobs

IDA Ireland is hopeful that 2014 will rank as the fourth consecutive year of record investment and net job creation among its client companies.

The agency yesterday said the prospects look strong, with an immediate pipeline of over 150 investments currently in play.

The IDA’s annual report showed that as of the end of last year, 161,112 people were working at IDA client companies, a record for inward investment in Ireland.
