This announcement is further evidence of the Government’s commitment to job creation. One of my priorities as Minister is creating an environment where job growth can thrive. I believe only a strong economy supporting people at work can pay for the services needed to create a fair society. I wish the DMS team every success in their new offices.’’
I put our continued success down to 3 main factors; firstly DMS have the best staff in the European market place and clients depend on their professionalism, hard work and problem solving abilities.
Secondly, the Central Bank of Ireland and the Irish regulations governing Irish funds are both clear and transparent in a manner that is refreshing to the international market.
And finally our service partners in legal, administration, depositary, audit and independent directors are top quality, dedicated professionals who echo DMS’s value. It is to the Irish Funds industries immense credit that this is true, even of our competitors!”

Ireland has seen significant investment in Financial Services over the past year, proving how attractive Ireland’s offering is. Today’s announcement by DMS will further enhance Ireland’s profile within the fund servicing industry globally. I wish the DMS Irish team every success with this expansion and offer the continued support of IDA Ireland in the future.”

We look forward to a continued partnership with the DMS team and are very excited to hear around their continued growth in the Irish market.
