The Irish Times view on Ireland's response to tariffs: there is a need for strategic thinking
The outline trade agreement between the EU and the US, provided it holds, removes some immediate economic risk for Ireland. But as well as the initial response, it also underlines the line for longer-term strategic thinking about the Irish economy. In the short term, there are calls for supports for Irish businesses exporting to the US to deal with the additional cost. Care is needed here. Companies need assistance to look for new markets. And the Government also needs to examine other ways it can improve their competitiveness in the short term. However, the State cannot provide an ongoing subsidy for businesses to help them to sell to the US at tariff levels that are likely to be in place for some time. Companies can be helped to adjust to the new reality, but there is no point in State support for exports that are no longer economic. Over the coming months, the Government also needs to reexamine its budget sums. As it appears a full-scale trade war can be avoided, the assumptions made in drawing up the Summer Economic Statement, the key pre-budget document published last week, may need to be tweaked rather than torn up. A lot will depend on the details of how different sectors will be affected. READ MORE Ireland must also focus on the longer term. Ireland's economic model has been based in large part on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) from the US and acting as a bridge between the American and European markets. Of course the State needs to do what it can to protect this and to hope that the framework trade deal is a sign of somewhat calmer times. However, Donald Trump remains determined to attract multinationals in sectors such as pharmaceuticals back to manufacture in the US. And, more fundamentally, the era of relentless globalisation overseen by the World Trade Organisation is over, even if what replaces it is far from clear. And so it is incumbent on Ireland to spread its bets – to diversify its export markets and to work harder to develop indigenous industry. These are both long-term projects and new approaches cannot transform the economy overnight. However, Ireland has focused in policy terms on measures to attract FDI. While domestic firms are supported , too, they often take second place in terms of the allocation of resources and policy attention. This needs to change. Improving the environment for both FDI and indigenous investment also requires vital upgrading of key infrastructure and also human capital – the skills and abilities of the workforce. These areas have been given insufficient attention for some years now – and the price has become clear. The Government's new strategy for competitiveness, promised in the autumn, needs to take a serious view of these issues. It can not be a rehash of current policy.

ieExplains: Why does every infrastructure project in Ireland take so long?
Ahead of the 2024 general election, then-Taoiseach Simon Harris was adamant Ireland needed a new Government department, one solely dedicated to the delivery of infrastructure. While Fianna Fáil was cooler on the idea, there was general agreement across the political spectrum: Ireland does not build things quickly enough. On Tuesday, there was confirmation of this in a new report that confirmed what everybody already knew. While the department of infrastructure did not get established, public expenditure Minister Jack Chambers was given the explicit title of infrastructure when he assumed the role in January. In May, he announced a new Accelerating Infrastructure Taskforce. The taskforce, chaired by the minister, was established to "oversee the department's programme of reform to unblock barriers and accelerate infrastructure delivery". Why is it needed? The need for a taskforce is down to a simple fact: building in Ireland takes too long. Mr Chambers said on Tuesday "every element of the project life cycle has delayed things". "What's been set out here is that for infrastructure projects, the timeline has doubled in 20 years," Mr Chambers said. What does the report say? Tuesday's report uses examples from the likes of Uisce Éireann, which says the lead-in time for a small wastewater treatment project in Ireland is seven-10 years, and ESB Networks, which said the development cycle for an electricity substation has reached seven years. Major road projects can now have a development cycle of up to 15 years, it says, and these timelines have more than doubled compared to the development cycles typical just 20 years ago. This matters, because longer project lifecycles are costing more, and impeding the ability to provide adequate housing. It also delays the achievement of climate and environmental goals. The report also raises questions about the ability of the Irish construction sector to meet the challenges of infrastructure. It says the construction sector employed 236,800 people in 2007. At the beginning of this year, an estimated 178,000 people were directly employed in the sector, considerably fewer than 2007. The report says given limited labour availability, the capacity of the construction industry to expand to meet all of the investment needs in the economy must be carefully considered. The report says the key issues with Ireland's slow delivery are: a lack of public information which magnifies opposition, regulatory burden, risk aversion, insufficient co-ordination on approvals, slow processes, and procurement challenges. Do legal challenges play a part? According to the stakeholders, yes. The words "judicial review" appear in the review a total of 50 teams, with Mr Chambers saying he was concerned these were "too often being used as a mechanism and a tactic to obstruct and delay, and this distorts the intended purpose of judicial review from a remedy of last resort to a tactical tool to delay infrastructure development and clog up our courts". But put to him this view paints those who take legal cases as "bogeymen" in the face of a Government inability to deliver infrastructure, Mr Chambers said everything needed to change internally within how the State regulates and oversees projects.
