Current Issues Affecting Trade in Ireland: Enterprise Ireland

Mr. Leo Clancy:

They are construction services, energy equipment within data centres and things like that. There are a lot of companies active in that space. In construction industry terms and in that industry and in a tight-margin business this is good business for Irish firms. Even though Ireland was at the start of the data centre growth story for Europe, we have seen that diversify all over Europe. There is growth in the Nordic countries and in southern and in central Europe. Huge dividends are accruing to Irish companies and their workers as a result of having cut their teeth on the data centre revolution in Ireland early on.
