Ireland’s businesses are under massive cyberattack pressure—with two-thirds hit in the past year and over a third facing more than three breaches. The fallout? One in five face regulatory fines, nearly a third can’t serve customers due to downtime. Yet, 95% still believe they can spot and stop breaches, with half very confident. Meanwhile, 70% expect legal action or shareholder fallout, and 84% know directors could face personal liability—making shareholder lawsuits one of the costliest consequences.

Homes and buildings are at the heart of climate action—and the Climate Change Advisory Council is sounding the alarm. To meet energy efficiency goals, we need 20x more heat pumps and double the pace of home upgrades. Renters should get plug-in solar access fast, and oil/gas boilers must be phased out by 2040 to comply with EU rules. No more delays on carbon tax hikes—needed to fund green upgrades and ease energy bill pain. Chairman Alex White warns fossil fuel dependence leaves us exposed to global price shocks. Last year’s emissions drop? Mostly due to a warmer winter—not real progress. Retrofitting social housing is way behind; private homes aren’t upgrading fast enough either. But good news: when grants became more accessible, applications surged—proof people want these changes if they’re affordable. Now it’s policy’s turn: stick to the carbon tax plan, target vulnerable households, and keep cost-of-living aid focused and temporary.
