Chartered Accountants Ireland

But outside of that, you need to go and do your homework yourself.

Online is a brilliant starting point and chatting to people and people particularly in your job sector or if there's a network associated with your specific skills area, like Chartered Accountants Ireland, if you're a chartered accountant, etc.

is really helpful.

But

I'm Sinead Donovan and I am delighted.

I'm chatting to an old friend of mine today, a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants Ireland, Aisling McCaffrey.

I've known Aisling for a number of years and she is really, truly an inspiring Chartered Accountant and an inspiring person.

I'm not sure how best to introduce her as she's so many achievements, but I've jotted down a few bullet points.

Yeah.

Research from Chartered Accountants Ireland frames it perfectly.

They say high trust is a dividend and low trust is a tax.

Oh, I like that.

So I'm hoping when I get the recording, we'll be able to put it up as a podcast because there was an interesting discussion.

The a lady from Chartered Accountants Ireland, Cormac Fitzgerald, who's an accountant in Kinsale, who organized it.

Jack Chambers and myself were having a fireside chat as such about the budget and the economy and all of that.

And Jack, I commented that I was very heartened over the last few weeks to read about the supposed rouse that Jack Chambers was having with many ministers of government, who are all looking for a significant increase in spending from their departments.

The event was originally co-founded by Cormac Fitzgerald and Jim Power.

This year's breakfast included a fireside chat between Minister Jack Chambers, Jim Power, Cormac and Cronoclossie of Chartered Accountants Ireland.

It was a fascinating conversation.

I know you'll enjoy it.

But hopefully this time next year when we're sitting here, that Minister Chambers might have some good news for the SME sector.

No pressure.

And Crona, I suppose from your perspective, can you give us a sense of the general reaction of your members across Chartered Accountants Ireland in terms of the budget?

Yeah, so almost 70% of our members actually work in business.

The government is promising some extra breathing room for people.

But what does all this actually mean when you go to look at your own bank balance? To help us cut through some of the jargon and explain what changes for your pocket, I'm joined by tax expert Cróna Clohisey, who is with Chartered Accountants Ireland.

Good morning to you, Crona.

Morning, Patricia.

Thanks so much.

Cróna Clohisey there, and Crona is, uh, a tax expert with Chartered Accountants Ireland.

Half 5 to 8 o'clock and it's at the Chartered Accountants Ireland headquarters at 47 Pierce Street.

The agreement provides for additional U.S. defense areas at Narsarsuak and Mestersvig, alongside the existing Pitufik facility, while explicitly recognizing Greenlanders' right to self-determination and reaffirming Danish sovereignty.
