Deirdre Giblin on Newstalk Breakfast

1 July 2024

To mark Canada Day the ICBA released the results of our 2024 member sentiment survey and our Chair, Dr Deirdre Giblin, joined Joe Lynam and Shane Coleman on Newstalk Breakfast to talk about the findings.

Findings include:

  • Canadian multinationals concerned about business operating costs and the cost of labour (90%)
  • Majority do not support the capping of passenger numbers at Dublin airport
  • 80% planning to increase wages and 50% intending to hire more staff.
  • By growing our relationship with Canada, Ireland will increase diversity of FDI and reduce over-reliance on US multinational companies.
