Sligo and the North West” concluded McLoughlin.

This is a very exciting time for the people of Sligo and for the North West as a whole, as we begin a new phase of economic development here. “As a public representative for this region, it is very encouraging to see a US company of this stature establish its base in Sligo and also to hear its representatives say that the are excited about the new up and coming technology scene developing in Sligo and that the reasons for investing is because they want to be a part of it.
