These multi-nationals not only employee thousands of Irish people, they provide them with much-needed experience as well as important connections, Forbes writes.

'I hope they are not depending completely on startups,' Paul Quigley, founder and CEO with NewsWhip Media, a Dublin-based start-up said. 'They are making a big push and it could make Dublin the tech hub of Europe.'

Its the way to go,while foreign direct investment (FDI)is always welcome,it has to be in tandem with local provided enterprises that give employment and is established in the communities that people reside in,even become International themselves when demand for their products rises,great to see the hi-tech rising to the challenge.

I think Ireland's history has made it a bit cockey and creative. It has the example to Irish American history to show the Irish can do anything they set their minds to. So my opinion and hope is that this program will be a success. The world is growing more competitive so, if you start something new and it works, the rest of the world will be playing catch-up. And this process feeds on itself. Some success breeds more success as the world takes note and talented people and money flows in.
