Remarkable to see myself in this news report from 2008 in the week that I return to the ESRI's Quarterly Economic Commentary team - after a break of 14 years.
ESRI report indicates that Ireland is in recession. WATCH: RTÉ News reports #OnThisDay in 2008.

Here is a link to the @ESRIDublin, @IRLDeptFinance paper on trade protectionist measures and the likely impact on the Irish economy. An important and timely paper and good to see such valuable collaboration between the ESRI and the DoF.

In a housing-related discussion on @morningireland earlier today, @labour leader @ivanabacik made reference to an @ESRIDublin study on the possible impacts of tax breaks for housing. For those interested, I think this is the study in question:.

The report begins with the observation that the supply of new housing appears to be falling short of demand. This observation is based on the results of demographic models and also on rising house...

Interesting perspective on the importance of the role of director of UK research institute @NIESRorg. By coincidence, the role of director of Ireland's @ESRIDublin has also been advertised and a similar perspective applies.
Here’s an outstanding opportunity to help build a better future for Britain - @NIESRorg has just advertised for its next Director. Rigorous research plus real impact on the biggest issues facing our economy and society.

An important day for the @ESRIDublin as we launch a new macroeconomic model of Northern Ireland, funded by @ibec_irl and co-developed with our sister institute in the UK, @NIESRorg. This new model will be a valuable tool for analysing economic policy in NI.
Today, @ESRIDublin and @NIESRorg, supported by @ibec_irl, have published 'Modelling Northern Ireland within the context of the all-island economy'. 💡 Read the key findings: 📄 Download the full report:

Very helpful to have an estimate from @NIESRorg of the possible impact of Trump's return. I assume the percentage impact on Ireland would be higher.

Earlier this year, I had to step back from my membership of the Northern Ireland Fiscal Council @NIFiscalCouncil but I'm delighted to report that Minister @CArchibald_SF @dptfinance has reappointed me. Looking forward to working again with colleagues in NI. @ESRIDublin

Further press coverage of my recent visit to Argentina. Remarkable level of interest in Ireland's economic story prompted by President @JMilei praise for Ireland's successes.
bloomberg.com
President Javier Milei aspires to reform Argentina’s economy in the way Ireland turned around its fortunes over the past three decades. The Irish see more nuance to their own story.
