Through its industrial job creating agency, the Industrial Development Authority, the Irish Government has succeeded in establishing considerable activity and expertise in the country in both the hardware manufacturing area, and increasingly, in the export software area, and in conjunction with the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, in the manufacture of telecommunications equipment.
