Ireland's attractiveness as a location for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) remains strong according to the latest EY Attractiveness Survey Ireland. Almost eight in ten (79%) key investment decision makers expect to establish or expand operations here in the next 12 months, and two in three (66%) expect that Ireland's attractiveness as an FDI location will improve in the coming three years. Investors have highlighted that the right mix of skills in our workforce, together with continued focus on improving geographic balance and infrastructure, are important areas for Ireland to bolster its appeal as a location for FDI. They also recommended supporting high-tech industries and innovation. These are some of the key findings of the latest EY Attractiveness Survey Ireland published today, which surveyed FDI decision-makers globally in Q1 2024 to understand their sentiment towards Ireland and their view of the drivers to ensure continued attractiveness. This research builds on the wider EY European Attractiveness Survey, which was published in May. Following a challenging 2023 for FDI across Europe, a large majority of business leaders (79%) surveyed said they plan to expand or establish their operations in Ireland in the next 12 months, up significantly from just over half (53%) in 2023. Two-thirds (66%) say they expect Ireland to become more attractive to FDI over the next three years - up from 46% in the previous survey. Positive investment intentions were particularly strong amongst Financial Services (95%), Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals (90%) and very large company (89%) investors. On a geographic basis, the survey showed a broad regional spread, with some investors considering more than one location as an attractive location for future investment. Dublin ranked highest (47%), with the Southeast (41%) and Mid-East (38%) also performing strongly. Feargal de Freine, Assurance Partner and Head of FDI at EY Ireland, says, "While 2023 was a subpar year for FDI projects across Europe and in Ireland, investor sentiment remains positive. Ireland's FDI model has been highly successful for decades, centred on talent, business-friendly policies, stability and access to Europe's single market. However, the global FDI landscape is changing and becoming more challenging. It is therefore important to understand investor perspectives and competitor offerings to ensure the continued relevance and attractiveness of the Irish proposition." Focusing Policy on Skills, Regions and Infrastructure Many factors investors consider when choosing where they should invest - such as financial market conditions and interest rates - are external and outside of Ireland's control. Our survey respondents said that domestic policy should focus on improving the skills of the workforce (36%), geographically rebalancing the economy (32%) and investing in transport (29%), energy (27%) and connectivity (23%). Dr. Loretta O'Sullivan, EY Ireland Partner and Chief Economist, says "The turning interest rate cycle bodes well for an uplift in international investment. While geopolitical and electoral uncertainty is a headwind, businesses are undertaking digital and sustainable transformation programmes and exploring AI technology. To attract the drivers of next-generation economic growth, Ireland should leverage its traditional strengths, hone its new capabilities and stay agile." A digital front-runner, Ireland should capitalise on its AI credentials Ireland is well regarded when it comes to technology and is seen as having strong AI credentials, including opportunities to invest in start-ups, a supportive policy framework, a strong ecosystem, and an AI-ready workforce. Positively, the vast majority of multinational companies currently located here rate their Irish workforce better or as well as other countries in areas such as innovativeness, autonomy, problem solving and proactiveness meaning there is a real 'AI-opportunity' for Ireland to seize. Feargal de Freine say...

The short but solid trajectory of the Undertones' career reflects the arc of popular British music during the same time. Starting off in Derry Ireland as punks with an ear for melodies in the late 70s and ending up about five years later exploring sophisti-pop is a map of what was in style in the UK. If the band wasn't so good at both genres you might accuse them of selling out, but, in truth, they're just excellent at making catchy songs. The band split up in the early 80s and lead singer Feargal Sharkey went solo before leaving music altogether. We're joined this week by bassist and songwriter Michael Bradley. He went to work for the BBC before retiring and now tours occasionally with the other guys (minus Feargal) even releasing new music. He discusses some of the classic tunes he wrote, his approach to the band now, having John Peel as a fan, and much more. They're honestly one of the greatest ever. www.theundertones.com www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

Today, we turn our attention to a massive credit bubble that burst and dumped toxic sewage in the form of shell companies and endless debt on public utilities. A scandal is unfolding at Thames Water - London's waterworks that's frankly been drowned in debt by the private equity owners. To twist this up a notch, we're joined by the Northern Irish former punk singer Feargal Sharkey has turned his legendary energy to a cause that's deeply dear to his fly fishing heart - that of England's beleaguered and abused rivers and streams. It's a great reminder of how these financial bubbles impact all our lives, and Feargal's dogged pursuit of justice on behalf of all of us who like to swim, fish or just enjoy the sight of the UKs precious rivers.

“Fearless” Feargal McCrory chats to me this week about his boxing career to date. As an amateur he won 4 Irish titles with Clonoe ABC under head coach, Frank Gervin and represented Ireland at the European schoolboy championships in Ukraine. Feargal explains how professional boxing was always his main goal and how John Breen and Eamonn Magee have been huge influences in his career. The professional career has been a rollercoaster ride, from winning the Irish professional title to having nearly 3 years out of the ring due to the pandemic and inactivity. Feargal has recently relocated to Brooklyn, NY in order to pursue his pro career. He has now won 4 fights stateside including just weeks ago at the famous Madison Square Garden. Feargal now heads into 2024 with a perfect 15-0 record and is looking at winning titles very soon.

Berlin [00:24] "Masquerade" Pleasure Victim Geffen Records GHS 2036 1983 Some classic nouvelle vague, very LA style. Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson [04:33] "Pancho & Lefty" Pancho & Lefty Epic FE 37958 1982 What the hell is up with the intro?! Anywho, pretty decent pass at the Townes Van Zandt classic. And these gentlemen let Townes appear as a federale in the accompanying video (https://youtu.be/UoKvUYbGu7A). The Knitters [09:18] "The New World" Poor Little Critter on the Road Slash 25310-1 1985 Well, since there was an election just recently, this seems like the one to go with. Margaret Whiting [12:15] "Gentle on My Mind" Pop Country London Records PS-527 1967 A snappy rendition of this John Hartford-penned number made popular by Glen Campbell. False [16:23] "A Victual for Our Dead Selves" Portent Gilead Media relic110 2019 Some blackened metal from this former Minneapolis combo. Ahmad Jamal [27:13] "Ahmad's Blues" Portfolion of Ahmad Jamal Argo LP 2638 1959 Recorded live at the Spotlite Club in Washington DC in September of 1958, featuring Ahmad on keys, Israel Crosby on bass, and Vernel Fournier on drums. Fun fact: Argo was a subsidiary of Chess Records. The Undertones [32:11] "It's Going to Happen" Positive Touch Harvest ST-12159 / Ardeck ST-12159 1981 A bit of a change in direction for the Northern Ireland lads. And I would say in a good way. It's always interesting when bands progress their sound. Feargal still sounds as distinctive as ever. During their appearance on Top of the Pops for this single, guitarist Damian O'Neill wore a black armband to mark the recent passing of Bobby Sands. Bongwater [35:47] "Bedazzled" The Power of Pussy Shimmy Disc shimmy 040 1990 Originally recorded by Dremble Wedge and the Vegetation (https://youtu.be/JXnoWb88Jr4). Just kidding, it's a Dudley Moore tune performed by Peter Cook in the 1967 Stanley Donen film Bedazzled. Deftly handled by Ann Magnuson, Kramer, Dave Rick, and David Licht. Earth Wind & Fire [38:32] "Fall in Love with Me" Powerlight Columbia TC 38367 1983 Track one, side one solid dancer with a heckuva guitar solo. Powerlight was the bands 12th studio album and certified gold. This song was released as single and made it to number 17 on the Hot 100. Iron Maiden [45:32] "Flash of the Blade" Powerslave Capitol Records SJ-12321 1984 The epicly epic album from my favorite band when I was a teenager. I caught them at Radio City Music Hall on this tour, with opening act Queensryche. You've never seen so much spandex and leather and hair. And then there was my nerdy self. Anywho, evidently this song made it into Dario Argento's Phenomena. Krallice [49:37] "Conflagration" Prelapsarian Gilead Media relic92 2017 Blackened goodness straight outta Queens.
