A Resilient Domestic Economy
There are 250.000 small-medium enterprises in Ireland (SMEs) employing 1 Million people.
33% of Irish exports come from just 5 Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) and 40% of corporation tax is paid by 10 MNCs.
Ireland is in danger of suffering “firm-specific” shocks and more needs to be done to help facilitate and encourage the development of high-growth, export-driven domestic enterprises.
What We Will Do

Income tax and welfare reform to ensure work is always the more beneficial choice over welfare.
