[edit] 1989
Yes it had a temporary base in Palmerstown, Co. Dublin before its move to Leixlip.
[edit] Years
As I understand the facility was founded in 1989. Building commenced in 1990 and production of chips (Fab 10) in 1993 going to full capacity in 1994. In 1998 Fab 14 started production. The nature of microchip production makes it difficult to believe that a production level facility could be running within a year, viz 1990?

- The plant is seen as a flagship enterprise in Ireland
- Intel Ireland employs over 5,000 high skilled employees and its pay packets alone have contributed millions to the Irish economy, and its profits, which are taxed at 12.5%, have also contributed millions to the Irish economy
- Construction of the Fab 24 manufacturing plant in the 2000s has injected millions more into the Irish economy.
- Considering that Ireland's GDP was about $100bn in 2002, Intel's investment is worth a huge amount to Ireland.
- Along with the money, Intel has benefited Ireland in other ways. It has helped the IDA attract other US multinational companies to Ireland such as Google, Dell, and eBay.

- I agree, these are very subjective. Will have a look at ways to fix them. --Dmitry
