DAVY VIEW

This week, we hosted a webinar on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ireland. Ireland’s FDI-dependent economic model has come under scrutiny this year as a result of disruption to global trade relations. Joining us were Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, David Sites and Peter Vale from Grant Thornton (US and Ireland respectively). Topics discussed included Ireland’s FDI prospects, onshoring threats relating to both fixed and intangible FDI assets, risks to Ireland’s corporation tax from US tax and tariff developments and possible EU responses, and the options that are available to the Irish Government as the economy faces into another external shock.
