The largest rent of €100,000 is being paid by the multinational chemical company Scott Bader who occupy 1,114sq m (12,000sq ft) under a five-year lease from 2002.

Dunboyne, 18km from Dublin city, has a top class road system as well as a park and ride railway station between the town and the M3. Locals have been slow to switch to the rail service even though it provides 1,200 free parking spaces.
Close by near Clonee, Facebook is developing two of three planned buildings at its new €200 million data centre. The first two buildings will extend to 57,690sq m – eight times the size of the Aviva Stadium.
Even closer to Dunboyne, Shire and Global Pharmaceuticals are also to develop a large plant, further ensuring that the area will be a hive of commercial activity over the coming years.
