Investment in Ireland: The Facts

Everything you need to know about investing in Ireland.

Ireland is increasingly becoming one of the best places in the world to do business, with one of the most stable and fastest-growing economies in Europe.

As a result, it is no surprise that we are considered one of the top three most attractive countries in the world for investment, as organisations from across the globe increasingly flock to our shores to establish a base.

Very often, investors travelling to Ireland may have limited knowledge, and while our fantastic capital Dublin has emerged as a central international hub for business, other cities across the country are brimming with possibilities.

Here, we shed some light on exactly what Ireland has to offer those considering doing business here, and why there is so much more to us than our esteemed capital.

Immigrant Investor Programme Investment in Ireland

The strength of our economy is reflected in the number of investors who are choosing Ireland as a place to do business through the Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP).

Since 2015, Ireland has received around €711 million through the IIP scheme. The approval rate* for IIP investments in Ireland is 56%.

*based on the number of applications and approvals between 2015 and 2018
