I predict that people will look back on the easy billions from corporate tax FFG burned through with increasing anger and bitterness. And it will become increasingly obvious where it all went, wasted on short term political projects, and a mix of incompetent and corrupt management of the overpriced services purchased by civil servants.
I’d say the next few weeks will tell a lot.
Cancel the metro
80% of goods were from pharmaceuticals and I doubt he will impose a tarrif on those.
Then we are over reliant on US and need to shake off this yoke
I think the whole world is on for an interesting few shitty years as Trump/Elons bullshit starts taking full effect.
Ireland need to look to Europe, Canada and brics
They’ve had decades to develop a domestic economy,and instead they put themselves more and more reliant on these taxes
This is as stupid as building a economy reliant on stamp duty during a housing bubble
For those in the know, are we goosed here? From my amateur reading on this we’re in big trouble.
Enact the occupied territories bill!
Who would have guessed?
It is important to have ready plans to adapt as a country and as the EU market.
Economic and commercial adaptation is our path to growth and a shield for preserving European values as a society.
As always, we as Ireland and the EU community control our own decisions, not those of the United States or any other country.
If we’re reliant on that industry so much , we need to bridge out. The country’s wealth shouldnt be at the whims of another
Get some branches up north, they’re not having tarrifs
Our completely dysfunctional health care system, lack of metro and decent public transport, not to mention the lack of student housing and cost associated with it for family’s , over priced childcare and also that housing crisis for the working population and record homeless, and all the opw overspend have nothing to do with the foreign direct investment , it’s to to with a lack of governance from the ff/fg and we voted for it again ! No one the blame but ourselves , we did this , government should have spend the money wisely , reinvested on native business with international potential tried to grow native companies but that all took late now
Thanks Captain obvious.
How will they survive without our Kerrygold butter. Oh the tragedy.
If they do and it results in a recession I’ll remind people that almost every economist in the world will reccomend that governments INCREASE spending in a recession, ideally on big infrastructure projects and the like, and we should in no way shape or form EVER take an austerity approach again, it didn’t work anywhere they tried it and just made the problems worse.
What does Ireland export to America that America also makes?
Ireland error is being in the EU…Ireland now has a trade war with both China and USA against their will…iRELAND Been in a economic regression since 2022…
The sheer amount of Irish people that I know and speak to on a night out or at the office etc. that praise Trump and openly state they like him shocks me. Even if he affects our cost of living I wonder will they still praise him.
Is it wrong to want to see our economy tank just to show up the government?
Micheál will have to put on his best lipstick for the Paddy’s Day visit.
If the shoe was on the other foot I would expect Ireland to do the same if its companies was offshoring taxes
Understatement of the year, politician way of saying “we’re fucked”
Looks like yet another generation of Irish workers are about to leave the country.
We’ve been at the forefront of the European, if not global, tech and pharm sectors for over two decades and yet bar a few outliers, domestically speaking consecutive governments have completely failed to foster an effective regulatory and operational environment for indigenous tech and pharma startups ups to flourish.
You reap what you sow and all that.
All the yanks will be running to Europe as well to escape America.
Is this news to him? Why did he do nothing to build a domestic economy?
I hope Trump sees some sense and gives Ireland some flexibility. Out of all EU countries, Ireland will absolutely suffer the most, likely to the point of economic collapse! No one really what’s to see that!
I hope the EU will support Ireland
Significant challenges ahead?
Who would have guessed?
Most of the other manufacturing jobs fled the country in the mid-2000s well before the last recession.
Where did the industry in Cavan and Monaghan disappear? 🫠 Germany then and probably China now.
The Irish SME sector has been deliberately starved of funding and struggling to survive while Poland is very much thriving.
AstraZeneca have already pulled the plug on a large project in the UK in the recent days. Interesting times indeed.
It’s incredibly frustrating. We had this windfall for years and did nothing with it. At least during the property bubble we built houses and the motorways!
Yeah Harris, we’ve all known this for almost two decades.
It’s not a fight Trump can win. Americans will not entertain even a short delay in treat delivery, he will be forced to roll back if the McNuggets supply is threatened.
The average Americans patriotism is nothing but a slogan, we saw in the COVID lockdowns that not being able to go to Applebee’s is treated as a crime on par with the most grevious human rights abuses, and I’m meant to think that they’ll happily accept price increases?
