Inner City Enterprise (ICE) is a not-for-profit charity and was established in 1992 to advise and assist people in Dublin’s inner city to set up their own businesses or create their own self-employment. It operated successfully until 2006 supporting the set up over 2500 businesses. During the Celtic tiger years, and due to high employment figures ICE shut down its service. However, following the recession ICE relaunched in 2012 and currently offers support to unemployed people seeking to become entrepreneurs, social enterprises and young people interested in entrepreneurship.
