The accompanying brochure presents key facts relating to the attractiveness of Dublin for investment covering six key areas of financial services and regulation - infrastructure, access, skills and workforce, education/research and as a location for startups and entrepreneurs.
Speaking at the launch, Lord Mayor of Dublin, Brendan Carr said, "For those companies that need to maintain an EU base post-Brexit, Dublin offers a great solution. Post-Brexit, Dublin will be the only English-speaking capital remaining in the EU. We have a highly-educated, skilled and enthusiastic workforce that has already attracted many of the world’s top companies to set-up here."
He added, "In addition to this we are investing in the infrastructure that will be needed to support companies looking to establish a base in Dublin. The Dublin City Development Plan (2016-2022) will see many more houses, apartments, hotels and offices coming on stream, in addition to the significant development that is already underway."
