The Evolution of the Irish 12.5 Percent Corporate Tax Rate
The sources formally documenting how tax policy evolves fail to capture many of the complexities inherent in such processes. Insights into such approaches would guide other tax administrations in navigating tax policy change in an international domain. This paper examines the historical background to the introduction of the Irish 12.5 percent corporate tax rate in 2003 in the face of the European Union’s (EU) dissatisfaction with the existing reg…
A reappraisal of Cumann na nGaedheal economic policy
This article surveys the economic policies pursued over the first decade of the Irish Free State. The Cumann na nGaedheal governments of W. T. Cosgrave are argued to have been more pragmatic than ideological in their approach and to have been more successful in their management of the economy than is generally realised
Factors influencing agropastoralists' adoption of fodder banks in the Central West Region of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Background: In the Sahel region of sub-Saharan Africa, the reduction of natural rangelands due to an unbridled advance of the agricultural front has a negative impact on livestock production, which is mainly based on the rangeland ecosystems. Thus, there is a need for improvements to the livestock feeding system. One possible solution is the adoption of fodder production techniques, including fodder banks, by agropastoralists. This study examines…
A reappraisal of Joseph Brennan and the achievements of Irish banking and currency policy 1922–1943
Joseph Brennan, as secretary of the Irish Department of Finance (1923–7) and chair of the Irish Currency Commission (1927–43), was a pivotal influence on Irish banking and currency affairs. Yet, within the existing literature, his adherence to conservative British norms is seen as providing a ‘bleak prescription’ for the Irish economy. However, such a view ignores the fact that Brennan was far from dogmatic on banking and currency issues and unde…
Business Establishment Opposition to Southern Ireland’s Exit from the United Kingdom
After more than a century of political and economic integration, Southern Ireland exited the United Kingdom in 1922. By identifying the leading business firms of the era and the political and religious allegiances of their owners, this paper explores the perspective of the Southern Irish business establishment on the issues involved. While the mass of the population was Catholic and by 1918 favored secession, the business elite is shown to have b…
Protection Versus Free Trade in the Free State Era
Belief in the benefits of industrial protection had long been a cornerstone of nationalist ideology. Cumann na nGaedheal followed a policy of selective protection while Fianna Fáil was ideologically committed not just to import-substituting industrialisation but to as high a degree of self-sufficiency as possible. The Departments of Finance and Industry and Commerce differed sharply on the costs and benefits of trade restrictions. This article ex…
The leading manufacturing firms in the Irish Free State in 1929
The manufacturing sector of the 1920s Irish Free State was substantially more complex in structure than occasional references to a ‘beer and biscuits’ economy suggest. There were nine factories employing 500 workers or more in 1929, while the larger firms in sectors such as bacon curing, flour milling and fertilisers each operated more than a single factory. This article identifies the largest manufacturing firms and establishments of the era, as…
Regime Change in 1950s Ireland
The new Irish export-oriented foreign direct investment (FDI) regime of the 1950s was an inter-party government initiative that facilitated the later Whitaker and Lemass-led dismantling of protectionist trade barriers. The potential opposition of protectionist-era industry to the new FDI regime was defused by confining the new tax relief to profits derived solely from exports, by allocating new industrial grants only to firms that 'would not comp…
Tariff-jumping foreign direct investment in protectionist era Ireland
The Committee on Industrial Organisation was established in the early 1960s to evaluate the level of preparedness of Irish industry for the imminent dismantling of the country's protectionist trade barriers. The Committee's sectoral reports list the 900 or so manufacturing firms that it surveyed and that together accounted for more than half of Irish manufacturing employment. From a range of archival sources, this article identifies the nationali…
The Industrial Development Authority, 1949–58
Established in 1949 in the face of Fianna Fáil hostility, and greeted with suspicion by both the department of Industry and Commerce and the department of Finance, the Industrial Development Authority within ten years had carved out a powerful position for itself within the bureaucracy. By the early 1950s, while Seán Lemass was still wedded to the concept of import-substituting industrialisation, the I.D.A. was formulating its vision for ‘industr…
In Search of the Promised Land
Foreign Direct Investment and Institutional Co-Evolution in Ireland
Ireland was one of the first countries in the world to adopt an FDI-oriented development strategy. It remains to this day the most FDI-intensive economy in Europe. These factors have helped configure the institutional structure of the economy to be able to respond rapidly to changes in the nature and requirements of the type of global FDI that an economy with Ireland’s advantages (and disadvantages) could reasonably hope to attract. This paper an…
Multinationals and Training
This paper sets out to analyse the effect of plant and sectoral level characteristics on the provision of training to employees using plant level data for Irish manufacturing. There is no clear evidence that foreign owned plants are more likely to provide training. By contrast, we find that they spend less than domestic plants on training, ceteris paribus. There is also no evidence that plants that receive training grants are more likely to provi…
Outward FDI and the Investment Development Path of a Late-industrializing Economy
B ARRY F., G oRG H. and M CDOWELL A. (2003) Outward FDI and the investment development path of a late-industrializing economy: evidence from Ireland, Reg. Studies 37 , 341-349. The Investment Development Path (IDP) hypothesis holds that a country's net outward direct investment position is systematically related to its level of economic development. Ireland is an interesting test case because of the importance of inward foreign direct investment …
EMU and Cohesion
Economic Integration and Convergence Processes in the EU Cohesion Countries
This article compares the economic performance of the EU cohesion countries—Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland — from 1960 to the present, in order to identify the processes that have promoted or inhibited real convergence prospects at various points in time. The likely impacts of EMU in strengthening or weakening these processes are then analysed. Amongst the factors studied are labour‐market performance, macroeconomic stability and the efficac…
The Single Market, the Structural Funds and Ireland's Recent Economic Growth
Indigenous and Foreign Industry
From the early 1930s to the late 1950s high tariff barriers and a broad prohibition on foreign ownership of firms operating in Ireland were the cornerstone of policies designed to promote growth of indigenous manufacturing from the very low base inherited at independence in 1922. By the late 1950s it was clear that protectionism had long outlived its usefulness and that few of the so-called infant industries had matured and become sufficiently co…
The Real Convergence of the Irish Economy and the Sectoral Distribution of Employment Growth
In this chapter we present the basic facts of the recent Irish growth experience. The last decade has seen a substantial increase in income per head and in employment numbers, so that Ireland has converged rapidly on European and UK living standards. Furthermore, this progress was achieved with low inflation and without the sacrifice of fiscal or balance of payments stability. Productivity growth has been substantially higher than the European av…
Irish Growth in Historical and Theoretical Perspective
The nature of the Irish economy, and the definition of Ireland’s economic problem, were shaped by a combination of events that occurred in the nineteenth century. One of these was the large-scale emigration that the Great Famine induced. This left as its legacy a willingness and an ability on the part of the population to migrate when economic prospects elsewhere seemed brighter. Ireland henceforth functioned more as a regional economy, whose pop…
The European Dimension
Membership of the European Union has impacted on Ireland and the Irish economy in many ways. The primary focus of this chapter is on the impact of the Single Market process and the Structural Funds expenditure programmes To many readers is might appear strange that we have little to say on the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). There are two reasons for this. The first is that, as is clear from Chapter 1, agricultural output has not …

FDI and Trade
In Irish manufacturing, the foreign sector accounts for about one half of employment and some 60% of gross output. The Irish experience therefore provides us with a textbook case study of the effects on an EU host economy of export-oriented FDI. We explore in this paper the structural changes induced by FDI and the effects of FDI on the determinants of growth in Ireland. We also consider some possible adverse effects that may be associated with s…
The decline of the computer hardware sector
By the late 1990s Ireland had become one of the major European centres of computer \nhardware production, accounting for 5 per cent of global computer exports and about one-third \nof all personal computers sold in Europe. Ireland at this stage also accounted for \naround 6 per cent of global exports of electronic components. The sector has experienced a \nsharp decline since then as production has relocated eastwards to China and to Central and …
