Dublin is home to most of the world’s leading Financial Institutions. In 1987 the Irish Government established the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) as a response to the rapid growth of the sector worldwide, and the outflow of Irish financial professionals who had to go abroad to find employment.

The Potato Famine of 1845 remembered at The IFSC.

The IFSC is a prestigious integrated development located in central Dublin which incorporates world-class office accommodation, educational institutions, executive housing, restaurants and shopping facilities. It has expanded beyond its original site and has become a vital part of the wider Irish economy. In total, there are almost 450 international financial institutions operating from Dublin with a further 700 managed entities carrying on business under the IFSC program.
