Enterprise Ireland has established a bespoke team that

I dealt with remote working. The LEEF has considered that. It is very conscious … potential implications of tariffs on trade for employment. We have urged that we avoid a knee-jerk reaction. People were immediately looking for subsidies, which would have been the wrong thing because that situation has not unfolded yet. A lot depends on the nature of the trade deal

implications of remote working for companies and the impact that has on employees. Action needs to be taken to deal with that. On tariffs and engagement with unions and employers, what are the major issues and worries about what is coming down the line? What does the Government

I have engaged with most of the CEOs of the pharmaceutical companies in respect of tariffs, trade and so on and domestically, the European Public Health Alliance, EPHA, has made representations in respect of this, as have patients, particularly

which Government is proposing for new builds. This lacks foresight. There is huge uncertainty here, particularly in the face of Trump's threatened tariffs and the impact they are likely to have on inflation. What we are going to see, I think, is that this will
