New jobs for regions ‘in pipeline’

The IDA stated yesterday that "significant investments are in the process of being won for several locations outside the three largest cities".

In a statement, the agency confirmed that “the future pipeline for regional locations is exceptionally strong at present”.

The IDA was yesterday responding to new figures showing that overseas investors recorded no IDA-sponsored visits to seven counties in the first six months of this year as Dublin continued to dominate site visits by investors.
