Is the South East of Ireland a good place to invest for a tech firm ?

 Hi everyone :) so my blog today is explaining why I think the south east of Ireland is a good place to invest in a tech firm 😀.

So firstly , I think it is a good idea to invest here because of  examples of other companies thriving. According to irishtechnews.ie , it boasts up to a €500 million investment of companies in the last six months. 

Another reason for tech firms to invest in the south east is that the cost of living there compared to the likes of the capital , Dublin. Rent and housing is significantly cheaper in the likes of Waterford and Kilkenny. 

                                         

The South East have over 112 ICT firms, including the company I did my work placement with , Cartoon Saloon in Kilkenny and three Technological Universities. This investment would be great for those who are seeking for graduates in the future. 

               

The South East of Ireland is also very accessible for those who commute from Dublin as there is a train from Heuston station Dublin to Plunkett station Waterford. 

             

Ireland is good for their relatively low costs when it comes to tax as the taxation for companies here is 12.5% according to Revenue. 

This also creates a good Foreign Direct Investment which is when investment from a party in one country have a business or corporation in another country. 

That's all for now !!!!
