More than a dozen firms choose Ireland post-Brexit, says Finance Minister

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has said that over a dozen firms to date have indicated that Ireland is their preferred choice for their post-Brexit operations.

In a written Dáil reply to Fianna Fáil finance spokesman, Michael McGrath, Mr Donohoe said: “In respect of relocations not every firm will want to make the relocation decision public for commercial and other reasons.”

The numbers of firms which will eventually decide to relocate here could be much higher. “The State continues to engage with a substantial number of other firms who have yet to make their final decision,” he said.
