In light of the imposition of US tariffs on trade, Ireland needs to “move up a gear” in terms of developing “our own indigenous enterprise”, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said.

Mr Martin was speaking at the opening of the new Dublin site of payments platform Stripe, which will serve as one of the company’s two global headquarters, with the other being located in San Francisco.
