    So if there seems to be a lack of manufacturing in Ireland, are there incentives to get manufacturing going in Ireland by Irish run companies? I don't necessarily mean huge manufacturing plants, but also cottage industries intending to export heavily?

    Well, I imagine there are plenty of these small manufacturers exporting but they're so small that they won't get mentioned here. Voya Seaweed Baths here in Sligo are one that come to mind.

    voya is very successful abroad, they're huge in the US. We have a pretty good candle industry here also & pet food for some reason.

    Costs in Ireland are too high for manufacturing anything on a large scale outside of the food sector.
