Clare’s start-up companies make up just over 3% of the national total of 9,853 – which is the lowest number on record since 2015.
April 2020 was the worst month for start-up companies across Clare and the rest of Ireland since December 2012, with these being attributed to the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
