Cork Chamber of Commerce Welcomes AMD's Investment Announcement

“This announcement by AMD of a $135 million investment is very significant and demonstrates the company’s commitment to Ireland as a strategic location for R&D, innovation and engineering. The investment and associated creation of 290 jobs across the Little Island, Cork and Dublin sites will strengthen our vibrant technology sector and will also impact positively on the broader ecosystem in the Cork region,” said Conor Healy CEO of Cork Chamber.
 
“Cork has a strong track record in attracting FDI and we must remain focused on enhancing the region’s attractiveness and global competitiveness. The recent and ongoing upgrades to the Dunkettle Interchange, the associated new cycle routes, and improved access to Little Island are all very positive – as is the increased 15-minute frequency of the suburban rail line. While these all give greater choice in transport modes, the next step in delivering on the electrification of the suburban rail line is essential to moving towards a more sustainable future for Cork. Continued delivery of housing is also a priority for continued economic growth.”
