STUDY LISTS GALWAY AS KEY HUB FOR MULTINATIONALS

Date Published: 05-Jun-2012

Galway is one of three counties which account for 82 per cent of employment created in Ireland by international companies.

That's according to the authors of a study carried out to assess the success of the National Spatial Strategy.

It claims that the government isn't doing enough at a local level to entice multinationals to different counties.

The Strategy was set up ten years ago, to ensure a more even spread of investment throughout Ireland.

One of the findings is that counties such as Galway, Dublin and Cork account for much of the country's international employment.
