That will make the the doomers happy.
This isn’t good, but not expected . Most of the MNC’s U.S tech/Pharma and are very Pro-Israel. Our stance on the middle east (Gaza) might be morally correct but its economically damaging. Downvote away but its a fact.
Irish people working in American big tech and pharmaceuticals.
I looked at 5 three are growing and 2 are static
Apple 66 vacancies
Google 215 vacancies
Intel 15 vacancies
Pfizer 4 vacancies
Qualcomm 66 vacancies
I don’t think it would be such big problem. It’s not like whole country’s feature is tied up to some foreign multi national companies right?
Because that would be too silly.

Maybe the government will start to respect Irish indeginious companies now.
It figures. The big multinationals are under fierce pressure to cut costs and the tax perks these companies used to enjoy in Ireland are no longer enough to justify the very high costs to do business here. Most of these companies are already moving the jobs to low cost locations like India, Poland and the Philippines.
We all know the tax advantage would come to an end at some stage EU we’re putting pressure on us and the US would eventually get someone who want to bring jobs and tax back to america
It seems a lot of people in this thread haven’t a clue about tech and tax in Ireland.
I dunno if people just didn’t read the article or if it’s just the usual r/Ireland requirement to turn every single post into a misery pit, but this is not the doom harbouring article you would think from the headline or the comments here.
MNC employment is at an all time high. MNC productivity and exports is at an all time high. There were no job losses in 2024. Other good news is there is continued job growth in Irish companies too.
The article is pointing out that new jobs are being added at a much slower rate than they were a decade ago which is not massively surprising given many of these companies were going through huge growth phases in that time and they are not now.
They were never going to keep adding new jobs at that rate, the fact that they are not is not a signal that the entire sector is about to collapse. No company is or sector is going to grow indefinitely.
The Indo really is fond of rage bait / click bait headlines these days unfortunately. Not the first time we have seen it.
Collateral damage control wasn’t long kicking in here.
This article about growth grounding to a halt came out yesterday, yet the IDA released this statement today.
75000 new jobs and 40000 reskilled in 5 years.
