The coronavirus is another example of how an external shock can threaten Ireland quickly when others – such as Brexit – are also in the air
But there is a second leg to the economic threat – the impact on demand – spending by Irish consumers and those who buy our exports. Here, the travel sector and hotels will already be seeing bookings collapse from both consumers and businesses. Tourism, one of our big domestic employers. may be exposed here, though more “staycations” might help a bit. But beyond that there is clearly a wider risk to demand as confidence and incomes are hit across the world.
