View The 2017 Annual Review

Many aspects of that recovery are demonstrated in our 2017 Annual Review. Last year was the first time in almost two decades more than 20,000 Companies were registered, up 8% on the previous year. Company insolvencies fell by a further 10%. In addition to this our Recovery Index shows a growing confidence among Irish consumers as our economy steadies its path to prosperity.
