## Resource

Ireland’s tech economy teeters on a knife’s edge, hostage to a handful of global giants who wield job cuts as leverage. Over 20,000 tech roles vanished last year as AI became the scapegoat for layoffs—prioritizing profits over people. Outdated labor laws leave workers defenseless, sparking demands for stronger protections and collective bargaining. While the government touts its AI-ready workforce and vows to nurture homegrown innovation, the real push is for a bold new industrial strategy: invest in skills, empower workers, and break free from foreign tech dominance—before it’s too late.
