Intel has a rich history of semiconductor manufacturing in Ireland since 1989 and our Fab 34 on the Leixlip campus is now Europe’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility!

Earlier this week, we welcomed a high level delegation from Ireland, led by Tánaiste and Minister for Finance @SimonHarrisTD and @IDAIRELAND leadership team to @intel Santa Clara headquarters.

We look forward to our continuing partnership and presence in Ireland!

Catching up on the new forecasts from Ireland’s Department of Finance. I note that net debt is expected to fall from €181bn at end-2023 to €141bn (40% of national income) by end-2027. On that basis, 🇮🇪 will soon have one of the strongest balance sheets in the developed world.
