Cork Chamber has published the 2025 pre-Budget submission, drawing on the priorities and concerns highlighted by our members this year, namely:

• Housing
• Competitiveness, Talent & Skills
• Infrastructure
• Renewables and Energy System Integration
• Urban Evolution
• Tourism

Rob Horgan, Cork Chamber President said, “Ireland’s ongoing competitiveness hinges on its ability to strike the right balance between leveraging FDI and supporting domestic enterprises to realise their full potential. Budget 2025 provides scope for the Government to do both – by increasing supports and streamlining regulations for SMEs, while also investing in Ireland’s long-term competitiveness through key infrastructure projects. Now is the time for Government to set a course for a more pro-business landscape, ensuring that Ireland remains competitive and attractive for local businesses and global industries alike.”   Read full press release <here>.
