This week’s edition carries an analysis of the Irish economy: you can read it here.
Although the absolute score for Dublin has declined in the Global Financial Centres Index, its relative position has improved from 13th place to 10th place (other financial centers also face various problems). See the full report here.
The FT has an editorial today that recommends that Irish firms look overseas in order to obtain a more diverse pool of non-executive directors. My impression is that the practice so far has been to primarily recruit non-execs from the US and the UK. A broader geographical range might contribute more to diversity, rather than focusing on countries with very similar approaches to corporate governance.
