Ireland has a very open economy and as such, it benefits from the boom in world trade. The national drive to encourage overseas companies to relocate here has existed in Ireland for many decades. Many companies have placed Ireland at the center of their European networks since the combination of various factors make Ireland an obvious choice. Ireland’s sympathetic tax regime and financial support systems for research and development emphasize the Government’s determination to attract foreign business.
