Ireland will be relieved at Trump's tariff cap on vital pharma sector
The publication of a joint agreed statement between the EU and US on the recent trade deal agreed in Scotland will be greeted with some relief in Dublin. It ties down some details of what was a woolly, political agreement – and for Ireland it gives a firm commitment to cap pharma tariffs at 15 per cent, while some parts of the sector may be excluded altogether. This removes the risk, for now at least, that US president Donald Trump would impose higher tariffs on pharma in the weeks ahead, or threaten them in future. This statement had been expected to issue a few days after the handshake between Trump and Ursula von der Leyen more than three weeks ago. The delay had led to fears of disagreement and details not being tied down. Now both sides have at least put things down on paper, even if there will be many months of negotiations ahead on various issues. The paragraphs on the pharma sector are important for Ireland, as it is a big employer, taxpayer and exporter. The EU had said after the deal was struck that its understanding was that pharma tariffs would be capped at 15 per cent, and that this included any that would be applied as part of a separate study being conducted by the US administration. READ MORE This is the so-called Section 232 study looking at national security issues in relation to pharma and also semiconductors. But comments by Trump that this study could lead to much higher tariffs on pharma in time raised fears that everyone was not on the one page. [ US agrees to cap tariffs on pharmaceuticals imports from EU at 15% Opens in new window ] Now the joint statement says that, taking into account this study, tariffs on pharma – and semiconductors – will not 'exceed 15 per cent'. At the moment pharma tariffs are zero and we will have to see when he publishes his Section 232 report whether Trump intends to apply the full 15 per cent rate to pharma coming from the EU immediately, or at some time in the future. A 15 per cent tariff is still high enough, if that is what emerges – but it is one which industry sources believe the sector can work with, albeit at a cost, given the high margin nature of much of its production. It will cause problems but not chaos. There is also another hopeful mention in the statement that generic drugs and their inputs and some chemicals may stay at a zero tariff – which would be a boost for parts of the industry here. The details of this have not been laid out in full and will be important. Beyond that, the section 232 process and Trump's attempts to push down drug prices in the US and persuade firms to move plans back to the US all have other potential implications for the sector here and for Ireland's efforts to attract pharma. The goal will be to remain as a trusted and safe supplier in US supply chains. In other sectors, the statement confirms the 15 per cent tariffs now in place and said the two sides will continue to talk about possible 'carveouts' – areas that will be excluded. Lobbies in sectors like spirits will continue to make their case. Tariffs at this levels will be a burden in general on exporters, though at least they know what they are dealing with. Whether the deal can now bed down remains a question – as does whether Trump will stick to it in the longer term. He has already torn up or ignored some previous deals in his trail of tariffs. But a joint agreed statement is a step in the right direction.

M&S resumes online orders in Ireland, four months after cyber incident
Retailer Marks & Spencer (M & S) has resumed online ordering for its Irish customers, four months after a cyber incident hit the company. Customers were notified on Thursday that both online deliveries and click and collect orders were now available in Ireland. In an email, the company said online orders were available for its fashion, home and beauty ranges, and online orders can also now be returned to Irish stores. The high street giant was forced to stop accepting orders online after it fell victim to hackers, leading to chaos across its network of stores. Stores experienced problems with contactless pay and click and collect services, before it disclosed it had been managing a 'cyber incident' on April 22nd. READ MORE It later wrote to all of its customers for whom it had email addresses, including some in Ireland, informing them that personal customer data had been taken in the attack. In June, M & S resumed taking some online orders for clothing lines for customers in England, Scotland and Wales on Tuesday after a 46-day hiatus following a cyberattack. However, online ordering remained paused for customers in the Republic and Northern Ireland. Why is Ireland not considered a truly rich country? Listen | 39:28 M&S forecast the attack would cost it about £300 million (€354.5 million) in lost operating profit in its 2025/26 financial year, though it hopes to halve the impact through insurance and cost control. – Additional reporting: Reuters

Employment in Irish labour market surpasses 2.8m for first time
The number of people employed in the State has eclipsed 2.8 million for the first time, new figures show. The latest Labour Force Survey (LFS) indicated employment rose by 63,900 (or 2.3 per cent) to 2.82 million in the second quarter of 2025. This is equivalent to the entire population of the Republic in 1961. Despite slowing global demand and increased trade uncertainty linked to US tariffs, the Irish labour market continues to perform strongly with ongoing demand for workers being met by increased levels of immigration and participation. READ MORE The CSO said the labour force (the total number of people aged 15-89 years who were either employed or unemployed) stood at 2.95 million in the second quarter, up by 2.5 per cent (73,500) on the same period last year. [ Jump in unemployment dismissed as 'statistical noise' by Davy Opens in new window ] The agency said changes in the labour force are typically influenced by shifts in the size of the working-age population, also known as the demographic effect. In recent years, this has been driven by immigration, which it said contributed to an increase of 49,200 in the labour force in the year to the second quarter. Another driver was increased participation (by both men and women), which rose to 66.4 per cent, up from 66 per cent, contributing to a positive participation effect of 24,300. The estimated total number of hours worked per week in the second quarter increased by 1.6 million hours to stand at 88.9 million. The data comes in the wake of separate report last week which indicated workers here were on average working two hours less a week than before pandemic. According to the LFS, the sector that saw the largest year-on-year growth in employment was construction, which rose by 29,600 or 18 per cent. The largest decrease in employment was in the information and communication sector, which fell by 7,700 people (-4.1 per cent). The CSO said there were 140,800 people classified as unemployed in the second quarter which gave rise to an unemployment rate of 4.8 per cent, up from 4.6 per cent for the same period last year. The survey indicated that an estimated 582,000 or 20.7 per cent of those in employment worked part-time, and 153,600 or 26.4 per cent of those in part-time employment were classified as underemployed, meaning 'they would like to work more hours for more pay'.
