Over half of American companies with operations in Ireland expect to increase employee numbers in the next 12 months, but housing remains their biggest barrier to growth.

That's according to the latest survey from the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, published to coincide with 4th of July celebrations, which shows that the vast majority of members were optimistic about Ireland's economic potential.

Nine in ten of the companies surveyed said their corporate headquarters has a positive view of Ireland as an investment or growth location. Almost 60% of respondents said housing required the most urgent investment from Government, followed by transport infrastructure at 14%, and energy at 14%.
