	Irish International Financial Services Centre, Center Dublin :Finfacts Ireland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In 1987 the Irish Government established the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) as a response to the rapid growth of the sector worldwide, and the outflow of Irish financial professionals who had to go abroad to find employment.
		In total, there are almost 450 international financial institutions operating from Dublin with a further 700 managed entities carrying on business under the IFSC program.
		Given that approximately 3.5 million people are employed in the world’s top 100 financial institutions and that 75% of the top 100 financial institutions are actively pursuing offshoring strategies this could translate into approximately 500,000 jobs being displaced (This is based on a 80:20 split between those retained onshore and those moved offshore).
