3,000 jobs in pipeline due to new finance law Independent.ie 18/12/2020 John Mulligan An extra 3,000 jobs could be created in Ireland’s fund industry by 2025 after a new financial services bill comes into law, it has been predicted. Irish Funds, which represents 140 members with $4.9 trillion (€4 trillion) of funds under their umbrella, said the new legislation could attract up to €20bn a year in global private capital to Ireland. The Investment Limited Partnerships (Amendment) Bill, which has just been passed in the Dáil, should enable companies here to expand their private equity, infrastructure, renewables and property finance offerings. “This is game-changing in terms of Ireland’s global competitiveness and will enable and drive new business and opportunities, as well as retain business which has previously been lost overseas,” said Pat Lardner, the chief executive of Irish Funds.
