Dr. Conor O'Toole:
Yes. We can see where the economy is at. We have had such low unemployment for so long and such a fast-growing domestic economy that this potential instability in the corporation tax through these windfall payments, the fact public spending has been rising to such an extent and, on top of that, we have all these international uncertainties like tariffs. The small, open nature of the Irish economy really leaves us exposed to these risks.
