Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / November 11 2004: 'Atlantic Technopolis' could challenge Dublin

The Taoiseach is being urged to establish a high-level commission to examine the case for developing a "multi-city cluster of international significance" involving Cork, Limerick and Galway as an effective counterpole to Dublin. Dr Edward Walsh, former president of the University of Limerick, will tell the Shannon Chamber of Commerce tomorrow that such a cluster would be "potentially more attractive than Dublin as a location for knowledge-based enterprise". Dr Walsh argues that no individual regional capital in Ireland can compete with Dublin on its own.
