Irish Funds Op-Ed in Business Post: Urgent action needed if Ireland’s funds sector is to stay ahead of the pack

Ireland has built a global leadership position in funds — now we must act to stay ahead, maintain our competitive edge, and capture new opportunities

In the Business Post, our CEO Pat Lardner highlights why urgent action is needed to ensure Ireland’s funds and asset management sector stays ahead of the pack. Read the full op-ed.

Ireland has established itself as a trusted global hub — but with intensifying competition and fast-growing opportunities, we must act now to safeguard competitiveness, unlock investment, and support growth across the economy.

The sector already supports tens of thousands of highly skilled jobs across the country — from Dublin to Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Galway, Wexford and beyond — making its continued success vital.

This message aligns with our ongoing engagement with government stakeholders and the priorities outlined in our Pre-Budget 2026 submission, focused on unlocking new opportunities to drive long-term competitiveness and growth.
