Show notes

It’s not news that Ireland earns the lion's share of its Corporation Taxes from a handful of American companies and that it hasn't enough of large indigenous businesses. My next guest used to advise the Taoiseach Micheál Martin and is now a professor of economics in the University of Galway. He was commissioned by the Collison brothers to assess the long-term health of the Irish economy and has concluded that a pivot is now urgent if we are to improve the productivity of local companies. Alan Ahearne joined Joe Lynam on the show this morning.
