The next General Election in Ireland will take place between now and March 2025.
The Irish business community is a key component of a healthy and vibrant society. It is well understood how businesses provide opportunities for meaningful employment in local areas. More than that, they also act as a lynchpin of social life in our communities in our cities, towns and villages.
In this episode of Ibec Responds, Nikki Gallagher, Head of Public Affairs, is joined by Fergal O’Brien, Executive Director of Lobbying and Influence, and Danny McCoy, Ibec CEO, to discuss Ibec’s ‘Electing for Business’ General Election manifesto.
