Investing in Ireland: Issue 64

Welcome to the latest edition of PwC’s newsletter on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ireland.

Ireland’s FDI landscape is thriving. Since July, we’ve seen a steady stream of new jobs and investments — a clear signal of continued confidence in Ireland’s economy (see page two). 

Budget 2026, announced on 7 October, includes targeted measures to support international investment. Ministers Paschal Donohoe and Jack Chambers outlined steps to strengthen Ireland’s position as a destination for global growth (see page four).

Japan’s investment in Ireland is gaining pace. Shared values around innovation and sustainability are deepening strategic ties and opening new opportunities (see page five).

Ireland’s renewable energy sector is scaling fast. Offshore wind is unlocking climate progress, economic growth and fresh investment (see page six). 

We’ve also included recent PwC insights and podcasts on key FDI topics (see page eight) and you’ll find Ireland’s latest rankings across areas that matter to investors — from talent to tech infrastructure (see page eleven). 

If you’d like to talk through any of the topics in this issue, just reach out to me, our team, or your usual PwC Ireland contact. We’re here to help — and to connect you with the right people across our global network.
