Connemara West welcomes the emphasis in the Irish government’s new Trade and Investment strategy on attracting more international students to Ireland. In the recent past, Connemara West’s own strategy of education-led development has led to a fivefold increase in the number of American students coming to North West Connemara for a global learning experience, and we are well placed to meet the government target of a further 27% increase in international students by 2019/2020.
