The availability of housing, sustainable energy and water infrastructures, and issues relating to the planning system all need to be addressed if the State is to continue to attract multinational companies to invest here

The answer is that FDI is a continued opportunity for this country, but we face many challenges in continuing to attract, retain and grow multinational companies.

These companies are also responsible for an estimated 80 per cent of corporation tax, and about 40 per cent of all income tax comes from employees of multinational companies.The single biggest threat to industrial development and the FDI model successfully employed here over recent decades is not a technology reset or the external environment; it is domestic complacency.
