Locate at least half of IDA investments outside Dublin

What this means

• IDA Ireland is the state agency responsible for attracting foreign companies to set up in Ireland.[source]
• The government has committed to ensuring at least half of all IDA-supported foreign direct investments are located outside the Dublin region.[source]
• This commitment is part of the 2025 Programme for Government and falls under enterprise and employment policy.[source]
• Minister Peter Burke is the officeholder linked to this commitment, which was first stated on 23 January 2025.[source]
• The commitment is currently in progress, with no specific deadline set for full delivery.[source]
• This matters for accountability because it sets a measurable regional target that the public can use to track whether investment is being spread fairly across Ireland.[source]
