Tens of thousands of jobs in Ireland at risk
The Minister for Finance has said tens of thousands of jobs in Ireland could be at risk if US trade tariffs are introduced in early April.
Paschal Donohoe said that in a worst case scenario, in the medium term “it is very possible that between 50,000 and 80,000 jobs that would have been created or kept within the economy won’t be”.
He also indicated that income tax cuts proposed in the programme for the government may not go ahead if severe tariffs are introduced.
Sinn Féin has called on the Government to use its influence in the EU to support businesses.
