This episode provides a midterm assessment of the Irish economy, exploring the disconnect between record-breaking macroeconomic data and the lived experience of the public. We analyse the \"Ed Sheeranization\" of Ireland,the delicate balance between American corporate reliance and European political identity, and the systemic risks posed by the global AI arms race. From \"Dutch disease\" to the challenges of economic gluttony, we examine why Ireland’s future is now entirely in its own hands.
