2,783 companies and businesses were set up in Ireland last month (between the 1st and 26th) - an average of 107 per day.

1,233 of these were companies - a rise of just over 12% on the same period in 2013. Just over 23% of these were in the professional services sector. 93 start-ups chose to operate in the construction sector - an increase of 48% on May 2013.

Dublin remains the most popular location for start-ups in Ireland and this year has accounted for 48% of all new companies formed.
