Cliff Taylor: Here’s what a deal to avoid Trump’s tariffs on Irish pharma would look like
There may be scope for an agreement on drug exports to the US though in the other key area in dispute - regulation of digital services - room for compromise could be limited

Cliff Taylor: Signals coming from Trumpland could hardly be worse for Ireland
A key risk is that Donald Trump seeks to isolate Ireland as one of his first targets, because of the huge trade deficit the US has with this State

Cliff Taylor: Was the 40,000 new homes figure an honest mistake or an effort to gaslight voters?

Cliff Taylor: Dundrum apartments decision a symptom of broken planning system
If compact living is really the goal of national policy, then Ireland really needs to get a lot better at this. Our planning system rarely acts in the interests of renters

Cliff Taylor: Investors are betting on Trump not keeping his promises. We’d better hope they’re right
The bluster would be designed to appeal to the wider electorate; the reality would keep the Dow Jones average heading higher, or so the theory goes

Talk of a new right-left divide opening up in Irish politics is nonsense
There is no political division on the issue of the Republic needing a bigger and more efficient State. The question is how to deliver it

Cliff Taylor: I’ve read what Trump’s trade tsar says about the “tiny island nation” of Ireland. It’s not good
The intentions of the new administration are clear. If the promised heavy tariffs on goods entering the US from the EU are imposed, this is a big hit to our economic model
