Budget 'shows foresight', says American Chamber

The American Chamber of Commerce has said the decisions on the Special Assignment Relief Programme (SARP) announced by Minister Noonan in Budget 2012 "show foresight" and will create jobs.

The body, which represents 600 US companies employing 100,000 people directly in Ireland, said the proposed changes to the SARP regime will be a major boost to Ireland’s ability to compete and win investment.
