IDA Ireland achieved excellent results in 2024 with continued strong levels of investment and employment across the FDI sector, reporting a total of 234 investments with the potential to create 13,500 jobs over the next few years. 69 investments were from new name or first-time investors, strongly indicating Ireland’s ongoing attractiveness as an FDI location.
