On the day of his election Donal Trump claimed that his plans to slash corporation tax from 35% to 15% will boost the US ‘s growth and create millions of new jobs by encouraging major US firms to return home to the States.<\/p>\n
The implications of this for Ireland are \u00a0significant with the new administration focused on firms who are based here in Ireland and in particular the top 5 companies Apple , Mircosoft Google Oracle and Intel \u00a0all Tech companies .<\/p>\n
Indeed excluding financial companies U.S . companies have a total of $ 1.3 trillion in overseas cash .By slashing US corporation tax rates Trump hopes to bring back home a large percentage of this cash and to encourage US films not to set up in locations such as Ireland who have low corporation tax rates<\/p>\n
If Ireland loses this advantage Ireland needs to ensure that other advantages inparticular our high skilled and talented labour supply are augmented and expanded \u00a0and fast .<\/p>\n
As each new jobs announcement is made through FDI , new firms always state that the key attraction of Ireland is Ireland’s Talent pool .<\/p>\n
Recently we have witnessed acute skills shortages in many sectors and Ireland \u00a0needs to address these skills shortages urgently particularly in the context of the changes planned by President Trump .<\/p>\n
The key aim of Back 4 Good is to do just that and the Irish Government should support this innovative programme so that Ireland has a sufficient supply of Talent on hand for development agencies such as the IDA as they meet these new challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
