South East of Ireland a good place to invest for a tech firm??

 Hi everyone and welcome to my 2nd blog!! Today I am going to shut up talking about myself, which you will be glad to hear!!😂😂 

Instead I am going to briefly talk about what I think about the South East of Ireland and whether it is a good place for a tech firm to set up and invest their money in.

My Thoughts 

Being from the south-east myself, I only know too well in terms of investment why this area is so lucrative to firms across all different sectors. A huge plus for this region is how easily accessible it is to our capital city, Dublin. Thanks to our great road network, i.e M50, M9, M11, you can leave Dublin Airport/Port and be in the heart of the south-east within the hour. This alone will make it easier for company executives, potential customers and suppliers to travel in and out of the country at ease. 




As well as that obvious advantage, in recent years the amount of young educated people based in the south-east has rapidly increased thanks to great investment in 3rd level education, SETU being one of the greatest achievements in the region in recent years.

SETU (South-East Technological University), which has campuses in Waterford, Wexford and Carlow is increasingly offering a wide range of courses to its locals and people from all over the world! As a result, the level of young well-educated workers basing themselves in the region is hopefully going to increase in the years to come. 


For those 2 reasons alone, I think tech firms and any other TNCs should definitely consider setting up in the south-east, that is if they haven't set up there already!

I hope you all found this interesting!

If anyone wants more information about why this region is the place to invest, please see the link that I have attached to the Ireland South East website, which explains in greater detail why tech firms shouldn't turn down this great opportunity. They probably do it better than me!😂😂

Thanks again for tuning in!! I hope to see you all back again for my next blog very soon!! 

Until then, mind yourselves!! 👋❤️

  About Myself Hello everyone, my name is Cillian McEvoy and welcome to my first blog!!  I am a 4th year business student studying at SETU Waterford. I live in County Kilkenny in the small village of Mullinavat, located about 10 miles from Waterford. Since 2021, I have been on the Bachelor of Business (Honours) course at SETU and as I have already mentioned I am currently in my 4th and final year of my course.  In my 3rd year, I specialised in the accounting stream and as part of the course I went on work placement. I spent six months working for PwC as an intern where I gained valuable experience in the audit and assurance sector. Although it was a very worthwhile experience, I decided not to accept an offer of a graduate programme with PwC after I graduate. It helped me evaluate further what I want my career to be and what I don't want it to be. Obviously, I still want a career in the business world, just not in that particular area of business. I'll figure it out! Asid...

Cybersecurity for Small Businesses

  Hi everyone, and welcome back to blog number 8!!👋😆 Today yet again, I'll be briefly discussing another important business topic.... cybersecurity for small businesses. This topic is very important to me at the moment as SETU (the college I'm attending) has recently become the victim of a cybersecurity breach. I had no idea just how much a business could be affected long term but I am now seeing first hand every day just how important cybersecurity is.  For a small business, if a hacker is successful in gaining access to your network, they can inflict all sorts of damage in terms of: Customer credit card information Company's bank details Manufacturing processes Business growth plans This can all lead to huge financial losses and costs as the company tries to rid the network of threats and make up for the loss of business. One way that companies can try to prevent such a breach is by training its employees. Many security breaches are simply down to human error, so by inv...
