It is important to continue to ensure that Irish enterprise continues to grow alongside the strong multinational sector which we have built up.
"I am delighted that LotusWorks, a highly-innovative Irish company which is expanding rapidly in export markets, is creating 50 new jobs. The growth of such a company based in Sligo is great news for the North-West region.
