“Source a Product or Service from Ireland” is a priority link on the Enterprise Ireland website homepage and enables those seeking to source a product or service from Ireland to browse for information and to submit an enquiry to Enterprise Ireland in relation to their business needs. The web page contains profiles of Irish suppliers of goods and services across a wide range of sectors. The “Source a Product or Service from Ireland” portal was improved in 2012 by adding further information and directories on the range of products available from Ireland. This new data was sourced from Enterprise Ireland’s client base, in particular from directories of companies participating in overseas Trade Missions. The cost of providing this service is included in Enterprise Ireland’s operating costs, and no additional expenditure was incurred in this project.
