Ireland is missing a “golden opportunity” to ramp up investment in infrastructure that could help make it “Brexit-proof”, according to the chief executive of business and employer association Ibec.

IBEC has said the single greatest threat to our economy is the danger of the UK leaving the EU.

IBEC is warning the Government that Ireland risks being outmanoeuvred in business by the UK if our tax system is not reformed.

The head of the employers' group IBEC has said it is "nonsense" for politicians to say we shouldn't go back to the days of the Celtic Tiger.
