Why does it take so long to build infrastructure in Ireland? If you consider the amount of red tape needed to secure approval for something relatively simple like the upgrade of Dublin's bus lanes, it is hardly surprising, says Barra Roantree, Assistant Professor in Economics at Trinity College Dublin. He talks to Hugh Linehan about the costly bottlenecks in Ireland's planning and implementation of key projects, how we compare internationally and whether reform is possible. Hosted on Acast.

Het is zonder twijfel het meest heikele vraagstuk op het Ierse eiland: moeten Ierland en Noord-Ierland weer worden herenigd? Er wordt al over gesoebat sinds de opdeling van het eiland, iets meer dan 100 jaar geleden, met als dieptepunt uiteraard de bloedige terreurperiode van de troubles. Lang leek de kwestie een verre toekomstdroom, maar sinds de brexit is het gesprek erover in een stroomversnelling gekomen. Het Britse vertrek uit de Europese Unie wordt door Sinn Féin, de partij die in het noorden al de grootste is, en waarschijnlijk ook in het zuiden de volgende verkiezingen zal winnen, gezien als een unieke kans om de missie van een Verenigd Ierland te voltooien. De snelle groei van het katholieke, pro-Ierse deel van de bevolking in het noorden, plus de aantrekkingskracht van de economische voorspoed in het zuiden, maken dat de domino's langzaamaan in de richting van hereniging aan het vallen zijn. Volgens sommigen, zoals Irish Times-columnist Una Mullally, kan het zelfs over tien jaar al zover zijn. Toch zullen de Ieren een enorme kluif hebben aan een eventuele hereniging. De economische kloof tussen het noorden en het zuiden is groot, zo vertelt econoom Barra Roantree van Trinity College. Ook wordt de historische pijn van de troubles nog altijd gevoeld door de diverse gemeenschappen. En dan zijn er nog de vele praktische problemen, zo benadrukt politicoloog Jane Suiter, die maken dat veel Ieren in theorie wel oren hebben naar een hereniging, maar het niet altijd als een prioriteit zien. Toch zal Sinn Féin erop gebrand zijn om de kwestie bovenaan de politieke agenda te krijgen. Zullen de Ieren dit trage en delicate proces in goede banen weten te leiden, of starten ze hiermee hun eigen polariserende traject van brexitachtige proporties op?

Vijftien jaar na de kredietcrisis lijkt Ierland in niets meer op het land dat kopje-onder ging onder de last van zijn bancaire sector. Anno 2024 wonen de Ieren in zo'n beetje het rijkste land ter wereld, met duizelingwekkende groeicijfers waarmee in sommige kwartalen de hele eurozone uit een recessie werd gehouden. De Ierse schatkist krijgt zoveel geld binnen dat het nauwelijks nog weet wat het ermee aan moet. Een embarrassment of riches, zo legt hoofdeconoom Dermot O'Leary van de Ierse broker Goodbody uit. Die is in grote mate te danken aan de Amerikaanse tech- en farmabedrijven die zich op het eiland hebben gevestigd: van Apple tot Google en van Pfizer tot Johnson & Johnson. We horen van Michael Lohan, de man die verantwoordelijk is voor het aantrekken van al die multinationals. Volgens hem is het heus niet alleen het gunstige belastingklimaat dat deze bedrijven naar Ierland lokt. Sinds de brexit is Ierland het enige Engelssprekende land in de EU, bovendien is er volop goed opgeleid personeel beschikbaar. Maar liefst 10% van de Ieren werkt voor de multinationals. Het levert de Ieren een klein fortuin op aan inkomsten uit de vennootschapsbelasting. Maar de rijke Amerikaanse bedrijven en hun goedbetaalde personeel trekken de economie ook het lood, zoals goed te zien is in het dure Dublin, waar wonen en leven voor velen onbetaalbaar is geworden. Bovendien zitten de Ieren met een geweldig concentratierisico, zo stelt econoom Barra Roantree van Trinity College vast. Al dat extra geld is afkomstig van slechts een handvol bedrijven, en die kunnen ook weer zo vertrekken. Het comfortabele financiële kussen, waarmee de Ierse politiek lastige besluiten uit de weg kon gaan, kan zomaar verdwijnen.

In this episode we discuss energy poverty and deprivation in Ireland with Barra Roantree and Michelle Barrett (ESRI). This is the first time I've had the opportunity to discuss research that I've been involved in (available here: https://www.esri.ie/publications/energy-poverty-and-deprivation-in-ireland)We discuss the trends of energy poverty and deprivation from 1994-2016. Some households tend to respond to burdensome energy expenditures by cutting back while others are more likely to incur the additional cost while potentially cutting back on other expenditures. We discuss the groups that are more associated with either of these behaviours. The second part of the report covers the recent energy price changes. We discuss the impacts across the income spectrum, and highlight the socioeconomic groups most affected. Finally, we discuss ways in which the government could respond to shield those who are most vulnerable, discussing the equity (and efficiency) implications of proposed measures. I hope you enjoy!

With many Irish people now feeling the bite from the soaring cost of living, a new report has found a record number of households are experiencing energy poverty. The study by the ESRI makes for stark reading. It found 29 per cent of households are spending more than a tenth of their income to power their home, with people in rural areas, those on lower incomes and older people disproportionately affected. So why is this happening now and what needs to be done to address it? Sorcha Pollak talks to ESRI economist Barra Roantree and Tricia Keilthy, Head of Social Justice and Policy at the Society of St Vincent de Paul.

Áirítear 29 faoin gcéad de líonta tí sa Stát a bheith ag streachailt le costais fhuinnimh, de réir tuarascála nua ón Institiúid Taighde Eacnamaíochta agus Sóisialta. These are households that spend more than 10% of their net income on energy, excluding petrol and diesel. Líonta tí iad seo atá ag caitheamh níos mó ná 10 faoin gcéad dá nglanioncam ar fhuinneamh, seachas peitreal agus díosal. Never before have so many households been recorded as being energy scarce. Níor taifeadadh an oiread teaghlach a bheith i dtearc-chuid ó thaobh cúrsaí fuinnimh de riamh. The highest percentage previously recorded was 23% in 1995. 23 faoin gcéad an céatadán ab airde a taifeadadh roimhe seo agus b'in sa bhliain 1995. Over fifteen months - between January 2021 and April 2022 - the average household's energy costs have risen by € 21 a week. In imeacht cúig mhí dhéag - idir Eanáir 2021 agus Aibreán 2022 - tháinig ardú €21 sa tseachtain ar chostais fhuinnimh an mheánteaghlaigh. If petrol and diesel are included, it was an increase of almost € 39 a week. Má chuirtear peitreal agus díosal san áireamh, ardú beagnach €39 sa tseachtain a bhí ann. The report claims that the number of households struggling with energy costs could rise - in line with the current trend - to 43% a year. Maítear sa tuarascáil go bhféadfadh líon na dteaghlach atá ag streachailt le costais fhuinnimh ardú - de réir na treochta atá ann faoi láthair - go 43 faoin gcéad amach sa bhliain. As low-income earners are most recommended, the report recommends the introduction of policies to relieve them, such as raising social welfare payments and giving them a one-off sum. Mar gheall gur daoine ar bheagán fáltais is mó atá thíos leis, moltar sa tuarascáil beartais a thabhairt isteach le fóirithint orthu, leithéidí íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialta a ardú agus suim airgid aon uaire a thabhairt dóibh. It is said that such policies - aimed at the poorest in the State - would be better than reducing Value Added Tax or fuel duties, which would also benefit people who are well off. Deirtear gurbh fhearr beartais den sórt seo - a bheadh dírithe ar na daoine is boichte sa Stát - ná leithéidí Cáin Bhreisluacha nó dleachtanna breosla a laghdú, ar bheartais iad a mbainfeadh daoine atá go maith as sochar astu chomh maith. According to one of the report's authors, Dr Barra Roantree, not everyone can be helped and low - paid, rural households and the elderly must be given priority. Dar le duine d'údair na tuarascála, an Dr Barra Roantree, nach féidir teacht i gcabhair ar gach dream agus go gcaithfear tús áite a thabhairt do dhaoine atá ar phá íseal, líonta tí faoin tuath agus do sheandaoine. Speaking on RTÉ, Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty said the report made it clear that it was time for the Government to put in place an emergency budget to help those in need. Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt urlabhraí airgeadais Shinn Féin Pearse Doherty go léiríonn an tuarascáil go follsach go bhfuil sé in am ag an Rialtas buiséad éigeandála a chur i gcion le cuidiú leis na daoine a bhfuil an drámh orthu.

We hear from Barra Roantree of the ESRI.

Dr. Barra Roantree, ESRI Economist, reports on the rise in people renting and that over 50% of these are receiving supports.

According to the latest ESRI report, more than half of renting households receive support for housing costs. The number of households accessing support schemes is now at 1 in 3, compared with 1 in 5 in the 90s. Fore more on these findings we hear the latest from Dr. Barra Roantree, Economist at the Economic and Social Research Institute.

Rising rents, falling wages, collapsing home ownership, increasing unemployment: hard data is finally backing up the experience of intergenerational inequality that is leaving millennials in Ireland worse off than their parents. This week, we're joined by Dr Barra Roantree, an economist from the ESRI, and one of the people behind a new report that lays bare the struggle young people in Ireland are facing to build their futures. It's not all bad though! Change is in the air, and the political system can make things better, if the will is there. Plus, Tropical Popical is back open, TikTok dance their way into the office block Google passed on in Dublin, Facebook moderators speak out, and a little thing called white water rafting makes its return.

Barra Roantree, author of the ESRI report which shows that younger people have been heavily impacted by the pandemic, speaks about the report's findings.

The COVID19 pandemic has turned everything upside down. In many instances, the crisis has only served to highlight existing shortcomings, not just in health and housing but also in our economic model and our underinvestment in the arts and cultural sector. The loss of live sport and its behind-closed-doors return has also highlighted the trade-offs between balancing public health concerns, television money and the sporting integrity of competitions. To examine all of these issues and discuss the way forward, we're delighted to bring together such a knowledgeable panel of experts and commentators to share their thoughts.
