South Tipperary has a good range of foreign direct investment companies in the growing pharmaceutical and health care sectors. IDA Ireland will continue to promote Tipperary to potential investors, and the agency will also develop its business park in Tipperary town as an additional attraction. Planning permission has recently been secured to carry out an upgrade of the park by improving the entrance road and landscaping the site. An advance technology building of 16,000 sq. ft. will be built on the park this year. Additionally in the town, the former Namco building of 60,000 sq. ft. is available and being actively marketed by the agency.
