Doing Business in Ireland
At the Embassy, we work closely with Irish state agencies to promote trade and tourism.
We can:
- Support Irish companies who want to find and access new markets, and help with resolving commercial difficulties where possible
- Provide general advice on doing business locally
- Pursue export and investment opportunities that will benefit Ireland
- Work to secure market access for Irish products in key sectors
