The Tánaiste rules out another cost-of-living package despite threats of rising costs to consumers.
Tánaiste Simon Harris met with major financial institutions in New York, including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, to discuss potential US-EU trade tariff issues. Harris warned of likely "turbulence" before any agreement is reached and emphasized the importance of the economic relationship between the US, Ireland, and the EU. He intends to bring insights from these meetings back to Ireland's trade forum. Business groups are reportedly unhappy with the pessimistic outlook and want the government to push for renewed negotiations and reconsideration of existing tariff lists. Harris also spoke to Bloomberg and CNN on these trade issues.
