    If you think this is a uniquely Irish problem or a problem with not building high rises, then you have quite a sheltered view of the world.

    Take a look at high rise cities around the world and you will still find mega commuters in large numbers.

    FDI is ALWAYS higher in cities. It's a fact of life and it always attracts people from outside the city into itThe likes of an Intel, investing in Kildare is a rarity, relatively speaking.
    Those high rise cities already happen to be in countries with huge existing populations compared to Ireland. The pressure on Dublin's housing/renting crisis could be exponentially reduced through building high density accommodation.

    Mmmmm you'll rarely see manufacturing facilities employing thousands in a actual city though.

    Even in the US the likes of J&J have huge sites quite a bit away (30 miles) from Boston etc. Intel set up isn't that rare.

    Large manufacturing is often found near towns miles from the suburbia of cities.
