John Heffernan, Partner, Ernst & Young, Limerick, Ireland“The most important criteria for any multinational company that is selecting and investment location is to assess both the skill sets and cost base in the selected location. A low rate of corporation profits tax is a strong contributor to minimising costs and generating an above average return on investment. The Shannon region offers both.”
Additional accommodation tailored for start-up enterprises is being provided by Westpark, in a follow-up to the very strong demand experienced to date for serviced office units at the campus. Incubator space ideal for companies in the early stages of development will shortly be available, as part of an additional 20,000 sqft of space being fitted out at the prestigious location. “The new development coming on stream will feature quality accommodation catering for different needs in a very attractive environment, plus conference/meeting room facilities,” said Jason O’Connell.
