You need to sort out these finance essentials before looking at Ireland’s new investment scheme (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AS YOU MIGHT have heard by now, Irish people don’t tend to invest. Instead, the population largely stuffs its savings into bank accounts, which is why there’s about €175 billion sitting in deposit accounts. We’ve covered previously why this isn’t the best idea. In short, these accounts pay out virtually no interest, which means the value of the savings erodes over time. There’s been lots of national angst about this of late, and it is one of the driving reasons why the government is setting up a
Why Irish officials want to raise the PRSI threshold for low paid workers (opens the original)

WITH SUMMER OFFICIALLY over and evenings starting to close in, we could all use some cheering up. It’s a subject we’ve returned to time and again – as the population ages, how will Ireland fund state pension payments? This question keeps civil servants up at night in a cold sweat.

ECONOMICS AND MORALITY make uncomfortable bedfellows at the best of times. For clear examples of this, see many, many businesses related to animals. You have the obvious ones, like factory farming, where animals are often kept in horrific conditions for the sole purpose of being raised for slaughter. Most people agree this is bad, even though we, as consumers, continue supplying demand for the products. One step removed from that is more traditional farming, where animals may be raised in good c

Read excerpt
IN WHAT WILL come as a surprise to absolutely no one, businesses tend to compete with each other. One company sells something for €10, another sells the same for €9 to try to win customers, and so on. Most of these disputes are barely noticed, accepted as the normal cut and thrust of the marketplace. So why has a row over Irish butter sales grabbed so much attention that the government is being asked to weigh in? On one side, we have Ornua. A co-operative which sells dairy products on behalf of
