Michael Martin says Governement must examine Industrial policy
The Fianna Fail leader says he believes the Government will need to examine Ireland's industrial policy in the wake of Donald Trumps' US election victory and Brexit.
Concern has been expressed in recent days after Donald Trump indicated that he may examine lowering US corporation taxes in an effort to attract corporate profits back to the United States.
Micheal Martin says his remarks have sparked concern about how long US firms will remain in Cork and how Ireland will compete for future investment.
Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show on Cork's RedFM he says these fresh challenges demand a fundamental re-look at our industrial policy:
