As the administrative and regional capital of the Mid West, Limerick is the commercial hub of the area servicing a hinterland that includes counties Limerick, Clare and Tipperary.

Limerick is regarded as the regional centre for banking, insurance and financial management and also has an extensive network of legal, professional, advertising, marketing and communications companies.

The Greater Limerick Area is thriving. Over the last number of years Limerick has become one of the fastest growing commercial and industrial centres outside of Dublin where annual turnover of companies in the Greater Limerick Shannon Area compares very favourably to the national average.
