Undersecretary for Economic and Development Affairs Mariin Ratnik opened the offices in Galway and Limerick.

She gave an overview of Estonia's success in the sector of wood houses and producers of prefabricated houses.

"Estonia has extensive experience in wood valorisation and the production of wood houses. We are ready to share our experience and practices and contribute to easing the housing crisis in Ireland," Ratnik said.

"Estonia's expertise in cybersecurity and the need to expand this expertise in collaboration with like-minded countries is the message that is part of Estonia's image as a digital state. We see potential for cooperation in this area between the universities of Limerick and Galway and Estonia's private sector," she added.
