History

Enterprise Ireland was established by the Industrial Development (Enterprise Ireland) Act 1998, superseding two earlier bodies: Forbairt and An Bord Tráchtála.[2] [3] Forbairt was established in 1993 as part of Forfás,[4] to make industrial development grants,[2] [5] while An Bord Tráchtála was established in 1991 through the merger of the Irish Goods Council and Córas Tráchtala[2] [6] — a statutory body founded in 1959 to market Irish goods abroad[7] — and successor of Córas Tráchtála Teoranta, founded in 1951.[8] The Irish Goods Council was founded to market Irish goods in Ireland in 1974, originally within the National Development Association as the Working Group on the Promotion and Sale of Irish Goods;[9] [10] in 1978 it was spun out and merged with Vivian Murray's private National Development Council as a limited company.[10]
