Investing in Ireland: Issue 60

Welcome to the latest edition of PwC’s newsletter on foreign direct investment (“FDI”) in Ireland.

The resilience of the FDI sector in Ireland is reflected once again in the significant Irish jobs and investments announced over the last few months (see page 2).

On 1 October 2024, Ireland’s new Finance Minister, Jack Chambers, announced Ireland’s “Budget 2025”. Minister Chambers introduced several measures aimed at simplifying Ireland’s tax code and growing FDI (see page 5).

Ireland’s proposition for FDI remains robust and attractive according to IDA Ireland, which recently published its mid-year results for 2024 alongside its latest Annual Report (see page 6).

We also summarise the latest Department of Finance’s “Tax Revenue Trends September 2024” report, which evidences that Ireland continues to offer a compelling case for international investors seeking stability, growth, and innovation in Ireland (see page 7).

Finally, we highlight some recent PwC publications and podcasts on topical issues in the FDI space (see page 8). Ireland also maintains its number one ranking in a number of key areas for FDI investors (see page 9).

Please do not hesitate to contact myself, any member of our team, or your usual PwC Ireland contact at any stage. We would be happy to tell you more about the topics raised in this issue or to include any interested parties on our mailing list.
