This year marks a key milestone for Macquarie in Ireland as it celebrates 20 years of operating in the Emerald Isle.
Growth in its operations and project portfolio over that time means it now employs more than 100 staff at its Dublin office, which serves institutional and corporate clients, manages international investments in local companies and projects, and provides critical operations support for some of Macquarie’s European and global businesses.

Our local leaders reflect on Macquarie’s longstanding commitment to Ireland and our role in supporting its ambitious investment plans.

Ireland is an attractive destination for global capital. Economically, the country proved resilient from the COVID-19 pandemic, experiencing double-digit GDP growth in the two years following - its economy expanded by 13.6 per cent in 2021 and 12 per cent in 2022.1 Though that growth is now forecast to slow to around 5 per cent according to projections from the European Commission,2 this is still an enviable level of expansion.

As it responds to structural changes such as a growing population and the need to decarbonise its economy, Ireland has ambitions to attract more private investment alongside increased public funding.2


Ireland has perhaps the strongest pipeline of public-private partnership (PPP) projects in Europe.”

“But there are also a range of opportunities beyond PPPs, in terms of supporting developers, management teams and projects across a range of sectors, including energy, social infrastructure and digital,” she adds.
