Introduction
Foreign Direct Investment has had a profound effect on the Irish economy since 1990. In this essay I will examine the role of foreign direct investment in Ireland since 1990. I'll examine what policy the Irish Government has implemented in order to attract this investment and other factors which have helped Ireland in attracting FDI.

A comparatively low tax rate has led to companies locating as much of their profit as possible in Ireland through the use of transfer pricing. This may be good for Ireland but we currently face pressure from the EU & the US to clamp down on transfer pricing. Increased regulation may be a challenge for Ireland going forward.
2. The Irish Development Authority
The IDA was established in the mid 1950's after economic policy changed from protectionist in nature to a policy focused on attracting FDI. The IDA attracts FDI by targeting organizations that can operate successfully in...
