Challenges Facing the Technology Sector: Discussion

Mr. Donal Travers:

Without commenting on individual companies, those big platform companies are largely located in Dublin. Regional aid, which is used to attract a company to a specific location, is not available in Dublin or, for the most part, in Cork. The answer is therefore "No", broadly speaking. We do get involved in some such companies with regard to training and research and development support. That is to specifically incentivise companies to train their staff, to change the skill levels of their staff or to scale up research and development or engineering activity here in Ireland.
