The table below outlines the total number of annual site visits to each county since 2012. The figures for 2017 are only for the first three quarters of that year. Final figures for the totality of 2017 will become available next month.

For reasons of commercial sensitivity and client confidentiality IDA Ireland cannot provide details on possible future site visits by potential investors.

It should be remembered that the IDA always does its utmost to encourage investors to locate in regional areas. The final decision, however, always rests with the company itself.
