Located approximately six miles from Dublin city centre, the Greater Blanchardstown/Dublin 15 area has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years.   According to initial   2006 Census returns it is the fastest growing area in Ireland with a population increase of over 20% in the last four years. With over 90,000 inhabitants, Dublin 15 is now bigger than Galway and Limerick Cities and also has a population bigger than several of the counties in Leinster (e.g. Kilkenny, Laois, Carlow or Longford).

Much of the industrial and commercial land in the area has been developed over the past decade for high technology industries.   The area’s strategic location in relation to the national road network as well as its close proximity to both Dublin airport and the city centre has made it an area of choice for established and developing industries.

The Blanchardstown Centre, Ireland’s largest retail centre, continues to expand and attract further retail development into the area, while the local Institute of Technology has provided a highly regarded third level education resource in the area with critical links to local business.

Now recognised as one of the key industrial, commercial and retail locations in Ireland, the Greater Blanchardstown area is host to many large multinational companies from the IT and Pharmaceutical sectors.   These include such highly regarded industry leaders as IBM , Xerox, Creative Labs, Symantec, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Astellas Ireland and Helsinn Chemicals. 

Today there are over 1,500 employers – ranging from multi-nationals to SMEs - who have made Dublin 15 their location of choice and have prospered from that decision.
