AI Investment: Irish AI firms have raised €947m in venture capital across 182 deals since the start of 2025, while Dublin-based Tines plans to add 100 jobs. Dublin Expansion: Mastercard is growing its European tech hub with a second Dublin office.

Banking: The Takeover Panel rejected a challenge to BAWAG’s €1.6bn PTSB deal; the acquisition still needs High Court approval.

EU Budget: Ireland’s EU presidency has proposed an 8% cut to the bloc’s 2028–34 budget, worth about €141bn, drawing concern over the implications for farming and other priorities.
