Dublin after many years of economic failure, in the early 1990's finally started to develop itself into a high tech oriented city. With much of Dublin being split into sectors in the medical field, information technology, and a large financial service. It has become prime location for many companies like Intel and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.
