Trump, Tax and the EU: Richard Curran on Ireland's uncertain tech future

Is Ireland’s tech juggernaut grinding to a halt? Are we alienating ourselves from Europe with corporate tax? And how do we approach the Trump administration? Richard Curran,?columnist with the Sunday Independent and presenter of The Business on RTÉ Radio 1, joins Donal O’Donovan on this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show. With the EU and the US increasingly butting heads on the issue of tech regulation, Ireland may soon find itself in problematic territory between the EU and the Trump administration. Richard Curran, began by setting the scene of what makes up the Irish tech scene. He described it as “huge” with quite a large number of the tech workforce being employed by multinationals. Depending on how you measure it, there are between 110,000 and 120,000 people employed in Ireland within the industry.
