The West of Ireland has never had a better chance of renewing itself and will do so by attracting thousands of young professionals and families to make new lives in the region.

That’s according to the Western Development Commission which today launched a new campaign called ‘More to Life’ which showcases the growing number of career and lifestyle opportunities available in the West.

With more and more people working remotely because of the Covid19 pandemic, the WDC believes now is the time for people to make a permanent and viable move to the West.

Movers can avail of the many job options open across multiple sectors and enjoy housing costs that are among the lowest in Ireland.

As well as the new ‘More To Life’ campaign, the WDC has launched a new website westerndevelopment.ie to spotlight the resources and supports available to those thinking of thinking to a new role, to work remotely or those thinking of starting a new a business.

It includes information and success stories about the €72 million Western Investment Fund (WIF) that provides loans and equity to business and local communities in the West.

ning new video series also shows scenes of home and work life up and down the West of Ireland – and declares: “This is more than just a place. This is a way of life. It’s where work/life balance flourishes. This is the West of Ireland, where there is more to life.”

Tomas O’Siochain is the CEO of the Western Development Commission and joined Dave this morning to discuss life in the West.
