The Department of Finance released its economic insights for spring 2024. The report follows its usual structure, taking a deep dive into three different dynamics that are topical in the current markets. The first of which, the demand and supply of skills. The report outlines that the tightness of the labour market is beginning to ease, with labour demand declining slightly.

The full report with all of the findings, which includes similar deep dives into inflation and institutional sector accounts, can be found by clicking on this here.

A further look at the dynamics of economic policy and industry and its place in Irish history can be found in Professor Frank Barry’s Industry and Policy in Independent Ireland, 1922-1972. (Promo code: ASFLYQ6)
