Ireland needs to boost spending on research and development (R&D) to almost €2bn a year to catch up with innovation leaders in Europe, according to a new report.
Have you heard anyone complaining lately about how much corporation tax the State is taking in? Me neither. The conversation is all about what to do with the possible €60bn, not where it is coming from. Most people just want the money.
I grew up in Melbourne. My grandfather was from Kilkenny and my mum’s grandparent from Sligo.
