What's driving Ireland's economic growth?

Inside Business with Ciaran Hancock

As the Irish economy begins to shrug off the effects of the pandemic and consumer spending returns to more normal levels, the Central Bank says it expects up to 167,000 new jobs to be created in the next two years. But, it has also warned that higher levels of inflation linked to surging energy prices will persist in the short term.

Today, Ciarán talks to chief economist at Goodbody, Dermot O’Leary, and Irish Times economics correspondent, Eoin Burke-Kennedy, about what’s driving Ireland’s economic growth and what could scupper it.
