“We can’t afford to be slow.” Elkstone's Alan Merriman says 70% of Irish pension money is backing US companies — and it’s time to redirect that capital into housing, infrastructure and Irish growth. Full interview here - https://lnkd.in/e4mWT6rE

At 33%, Ireland’s rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is one of the highest in Europe, and it's holding us back.  It is causing investors to look elsewhere and stifling the growth of indigenous enterprise.  Dublin Chamber is calling for the CGT rate to be reduced to 20% for disposals of investments in unquoted, actively trading Irish firms.  It’s time to reward risk, unlock growth, and make Ireland a more compelling and competitive place to invest and scale.  Read our Pre-Budget submission here https://lnkd.in/gp3u92K9  #VoiceofDublinBusiness

Paul O'Brien from Bank of Ireland’s Security team featured on Down to Business on Newstalk at the weekend with Bobby Kerr to discuss business fraud. Paul advised on what employers need to do to protect their businesses and their employees from fraud attacks.   From fake investment ads to CEO impersonation and invoice redirection, fraudsters are increasingly targeting Irish businesses, he warned.   O’Brien shared practical advice for SMEs on how to stay protected: “Never, ever pay money out of your business on the basis of an email – whether it’s from a supplier with new bank details or someone senior in your company – without talking to them first.”   Bank of Ireland offers 24/7 support and works closely with law enforcement to help businesses respond quickly to suspected fraud. Training, clear processes, and early reporting are key to prevention and recovery.   If you suspect fraud, contact Bank of Ireland’s 24/7 team at 1800 946 764   #BusinessSecurity #FraudPrevention #SMEProtection #InvoiceRedirection #CyberSecurity #CEOImpersonation #Irish #Business #FinancialSafety #infosec
