Irish business seeing ‘silent slowdown' as confidence plummets
Irish businesses are much less optimistic about the future than they were in late 2024, according to Azets Ireland, suggesting a 'silent slowdown' in the economy may be under way. Conducted between April and May, the corporate advisory firm's latest Barometer Survey, a poll of 119 mid-market companies in the Republic, revealed decreasing confidence levels among firms in recent months. Overall, survey respondents rated their economic prospects at 5.5 out of 10, down from 6.5 out of 10 in the previous survey in November. Even so, Irish businesses are the second most optimistic in northern Europe, according to the survey, ahead of the UK , Norway and Finland . READ MORE Azets said the latest score was the lowest since the survey was inaugurated one year ago. The data suggests a 'silent slowdown' may be under way in the Republic, the firm said. 'Irish business leaders are steering their organisations through one of the most uncertain periods in recent memory – where trade tariffs, geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty are increasing,' said Neil Hughes, chief executive at Azets Ireland. 'Our latest barometer shows that this volatility is beginning to dent business confidence, with a marked drop in optimism since late last year Businesses said they were most concerned about trade and tariff uncertainty stemming from recent shifts in US trade policy under US president Donald Trump. Geopolitical instability was cited as the second biggest concern. However, 41 per cent of firms said that higher labour costs remain a top concern, particularly among mid-sized businesses. Declining confidence was particularly evident among microbusinesses with fewer than 10 employees. This is a 'particularly concerning trend', Mr Hughes said. 'These firms report the lowest confidence in both their financial health and future prospects,' he said. 'They are the backbone of local economies across Ireland, yet rising labour costs and the growing cost of doing business are putting them under real pressure.' [ I gave my friends hats which said 'Make America Hate Again'. That's what Trump is trying to do Opens in new window ] More reassuringly, Mr Hughes said, the survey reveals Irish businesses are entering this period of volatility in relatively sound financial health. Survey respondents ranked their financial wellbeing at 6.6 out of 10 overall, second only to Denmark, although larger businesses tended to outperform their smaller competitors in this area, Azets said. The OECD last week warned that Mr Trump's trade policies will damage consumer and business sentiment in Ireland and could 'weigh heavily' on economic growth if the US administration adds pharmaceuticals to the list of imports subjected to tariffs. Washington's policies have tipped the world economy into a downturn clouded in heightened uncertainty, with the US among the hardest hit, it said in its twice-yearly economic outlook report.

Ryanair to base fourth aircraft at Shannon adding routes to Madrid and Lapland
Ryanair announced on Wednesday it will add a fourth aircraft at Shannon Airport this winter, described as a 'gamechanger' for the region, adding 100,000 passengers. The announcement will see three new routes this winter to Lapland, Madeira and Madrid, in addition to extra flights on six existing routes - Alicante, Edinburgh, Kraków, Lanzarote, Manchester, and Wrocław - for Winter 25/26. The announcement will help to deliver 20% traffic growth to Shannon. 'This expansion offers even greater choice for our passengers and strengthens Shannon's position as a key gateway to and from the West of Ireland. Ryanair's investment is a powerful endorsement of the potential of Shannon, a vote of confidence in the market here, and a testament to the progress we've made growing passenger numbers,' said Shannon Airport Group chief executive Mary Considine. 'We see a huge potential for growth and believe there is a real opportunity for Shannon Airport to lead the way in rebalancing the national landscape." Ryanair's chief commercial officer Jason McGuinness said the company is investing €350m in the region. Speaking to the Irish Examiner, he said: 'We've been here at Shannon Airport for 36 years. There's an ambitious management team here that understands the competition they face against the 40 countries and 240 airports that Ryanair operates across Europe. 'We are probably one of the biggest single investors in regional Ireland at the moment. We've doubled the amount of seats we're offering across regional Irish airports and we have doubled the number of passengers we have in Shannon from 800,000 to 1.6m.' Passenger numbers at Shannon Airport reached a 15-year high in 2024, surpassing 2.1m in the 12 months. The addition of a fourth aircraft will mean it will have one more than Cork Airport, which last year reported 3.1m passengers. Asked if Ryanair will also seek to increase its fleet in Cork Airport, Mr McGuinness said: 'I would hope so. We are very committed to regional Irish airports. We have three aircraft based in Cork this winter, but I would hope that could increase. I'm happy to talk to anyone of our 240 airports across Europe.' 'Both airports can grow and we can add more routes to both, but we have never been shy in saying that we allocate capacity wherever costs are best and where we can get the best long-term deals. If the DAA want to come up with something better in terms of its cost base for Cork, we're very happy to talk to them.' 'In terms of our plan to grow from 20m passengers to 30m, the majority of that growth, around 60%, was actually in regional airports, predominantly in Cork and Shannon.' The added aircraft for the 2025 Shannon Airport winter season will result in an additional $100m investment by Ryanair, which Mr McGuinness said is already investing heavily in the region. 'There will be a direct extra 30 jobs spanning across pilots and cabin crew, as well as additional in maintenance and in engineering. We're also likely to be announcing more maintenance jobs in Shannon over the next few months.' Mary Considine, CEO of the Shannon Airport Group told the Irish Examiner: 'This is a massive vote of confidence for us. The more aircraft we have here, the more frequency and services Ryanair can offer. In addition to increased frequencies for our six most popular routes, they have also been able to announce three new routes for the winter.'
