Tariffs represent 'most serious challenge to transatlantic economic relations in generations'
The Tánaiste is to warn that the threat of further tariffs represents 'the most serious challenge to transatlantic economic relations in generations". In a keynote speech at the National Economic Dialogue at Dublin Castle, Simon Harris will insist that the EU must remain steadfast in pursuing 'substantive, calm, measured, and comprehensive dialogue' with the US in order to avoid the imposition of further tariffs. Later on Monday, the Tánaiste and minister for foreign affairs and trade will hold discussions with the EU's trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic and receive an update on negotiations with the US. There are 23 days left to reaching a trade agreement between the US and the EU. The Tánaiste spoke last week with US trade chief Jameson Greer and will also hold a series of engagements with his European counterparts this week. He will tell the National Economic Dialogue that this year's budget must be framed to ensure Ireland remains competitive in a turbulent global economy. He will say the greatest challenge and strain our economy faces remains housing, so the budget and the upcoming national development plan must prioritise the construction of homes. In relation to the looming threat of further tariffs, the Tánaiste will say that 'despite the suspension of higher tariff rates announced on so-called 'Liberation Day', and notwithstanding the ongoing legal dispute arising from the US Court of International Trade ruling, Irish and EU exporters to the US remain subject to an additional 10% tariff on goods, as well as sectoral tariffs on steel, aluminium, and cars. He will add: 'Together with threats of further tariffs on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and aircraft arising from Section 232 investigations, this represents the most serious challenge to transatlantic economic relations in generations.' The Tánaiste will also emphasise the importance of Ireland taking its own actions in order to boost competitiveness and protect businesses. He will point to the energy sector as an example where there are particular opportunities for Irish companies and stress the need to reduce barriers at an EU level so businesses can grow. 'Too many European companies remain trapped in domestic markets, unable to achieve the scale necessary to compete globally," Mr Harris will say. 'I am working to reduce barriers to cross-border expansion and to create incentives for companies to think European from the outset.' The Tanaiste will also reference Ireland's hosting of the EU presidency as a major opportunity to show leadership on the world stage. 'Make no mistake — the rules-based, multilateral trading system is being challenged. "At a time of global uncertainty, Ireland must not only defend this model but continue to strengthen and champion it. "We can absolutely do this; our experience as a small, open economy that has thrived through European integration while maintaining global connections puts us in an excellent position. 'Whether in managing trade tensions with the US, rebuilding relationships with the UK, enhancing European competitiveness, or leading the EU during our presidency, Ireland has the opportunity to contribute constructively to solutions. 'I am committed to ensuring that we seize that opportunity — for Ireland, for Europe, and for the common values that we share.'

Government agrees multi-million-euro contract with French firm for sonar system
THE IRISH GOVERNMENT has announced the signing of a multi-million-euro contract with a French firm for the provision of towed sonar capability. Thales DMS France — which specialises in defence, aeronautics and security technology — will produce the sonar, which will be used for subsea monitoring and surveillance. It will be used on Irish naval vessels to monitor activities in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and, in particular, in the vicinity of subsea communication cables or gas pipelines. Commenting on the award of the contract, Tánaiste Simon Harris said the technology would help counter maritime threats. "This significant investment in sonar capability will provide the Naval Service with a state-of-the-art sonar system, which will enable them to build a picture of our subsea, thus contributing to the important task of protecting our critical underwater infrastructure," he said. "This is one of many strands of work being progressed to address the threats in our maritime domain. "It will serve as an important first step in creating a 'pattern of life' in the subsea domain, with future projects further enhancing this capability. "This investment will contribute to the Programme for Government commitment to focus on the protection of critical undersea." 'Welcome advancement' It is anticipated that the new capability will be available to the Naval Service in 2027. While the Irish Defence Forces regularly monitor activity on Irish seas, the new technology will enhance awareness below the surface. An enhanced maritime picture will also be important for detecting illegal activities such as illegal fishing, drug trafficking, terrorism and espionage. Lieutenant General Rossa Mulcahy, Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, welcomed the announcement. "This advancement in capabilities of the Naval Service, through the procurement of towed array sonar, will enable our ships at sea to monitor the subsurface space within our maritime area," he said. "This capability will greatly enhance the Defence Forces' situational awareness across domains and is a welcome advancement in the continued development and transformation of the Óglaigh na hÉireann." Thanes, which is headquartered in Paris, recently announced plans to open a third manufacturing facility in Northern Ireland. See More: Simon Harris, Thales
