Cities, towns and villages in Ireland are thriving thanks to indigenous and FDI businesses. The local, well-paid jobs businesses provide are vital to a cohesive and prosperous society.

Ibec is campaigning to ensure the next Government recognises and supports the vital role that business plays in communities across the country.

‘Electing for Business’ will showcase what economic success has delivered for Ireland and set out an ambitious vision for the country in 2024 and beyond.
