Ireland woos financial institutions that may relocate over Brexit

Dublin

IRELAND has gone on a charm offensive following Britain's vote to leave the European Union (EU), hoping to woo London-based financial institutions despite fears Dublin is ill-equipped for an influx of high-flying executives.

Martin Shanahan, head of inward investment agency IDA Ireland, said he expected British companies in all industries that depend on access to the EU market to relocate some services to countries within the bloc.
