The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector in Ireland was the third biggest in the EU in 2019, according to a new report from the Central Statistics Office.
This compares to output of €310 billion in Germany, €223 billion in France and is just ahead of Italy's €126 billion.
91,000 people were employed in the sector here, which ranges from broadband companies to software providers. 50,000 people were employed by foreign owned multinationals while domestic firms in the sector employed 41,000 people.ICT workers have the highest average earnings in the country.The CSO says Ireland has become a global hub for the ICT industry with the sector here growing twelve-fold in real terms since 1995.However, the industry employs a low percentage of female workers.
This, the CSO says, is evidence of a spillover of knowledge and expertise between multinationals and domestic companies.
