Article Abstract:

The presence of clusters or agglomeration in Portuguese and Irish manufacturing industries between 1985 and 1998 is examined and compared. It is found that industries tend to be geographically mobile, and the emergence of new plants disperses clusters, while deaths strengthen agglomeration in both countries.
