ISME, the Irish SME Association, has welcomed the Summer economic Statement from Government, but said a far greater focus on indigenous enterprise will be required to address the imbalances in the Irish economy between multinational businesses and indigenous enterprise.

ISME has warned that Ireland will suffer the worsening effects of ‘Dutch Disease’ unless Budget 2026 focuses on scaling indigenous enterprises and helping them export.

To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Siobhán Ni Ghairbith, Owner of St. Tola’s Goats Cheese.
