Abstract
The Irish pharmaceutical industry continues to
be an international success story and this article
outlines the achievements of the industry and
discusses the main threats and opportunities
for future development. The sector took off in
the 1970s following the Industrial Development
Authority’s adoption of pharmaceuticals as one
of its target sectors. This resulted in a series of
manufacturing investments, notably by US- and
UK-based companies. Currently, Ireland’s main
strengths in attracting foreign investment in
pharmaceuticals include its low rate of corpora
-
tion tax (12.5%), its educated labor force, access
to the European market, well-developed regu
-
latory capabilities and a supportive industrial
development agency.
