Introductory overview (written in 2002): The IFSC is a model of global importance
This publication does not purport to be a definitive history of the IFSC - or, as it is might now more accurately be described the 'IIFSC' - Irish International Financial Services Centre - but a research contribution to such a history, in that we compile a series of previously unpublished memoirs, insights and facts about the foundation of the centre, and its subsequent evolution. It is a record generating, or journalistic exercise rather than a work of historical analysis on the completion of the centre's first fifteen years of trading. |
