Culture
It is great that Ireland can copy the “core competencies” of other developed nations (e.g. excel in “manufacturing” like Japan or the USA). However, this adds economic vulnerability, as recent times have shown, as manufacturers constantly seek lower cost countries for their new base.
Ireland should develop its own competency which cannot be outsourced. Ultimately, when everyone is done with the working day worldwide, they then seek leisure and the arts. Ireland should keep its economic diversity, but should focus on a national core competency.
