Description: The ESRI has warned that its projected growth rate for the Irish economy this year could be slashed by more than two-thirds if Britain crashes out of the EU, derailing the Government’s plan for tax cuts in the next budget. Lead author of that report, Dr Adele Bergin, joins Cliff Taylor and presenter Laura Slattery to discuss the gloomy analysis. Plus: The robots are coming, but for who? Eoin Burke-Kennedy has the details of a report by the UK’s Office for National Statistics, showing waiters and shelf stackers are the most likely to be replaced by robots. But first, Peter Hamilton has a roundup of some of the other stories making the business news this week: PwC’s review of Datalex’s accounts, new EU copyright rules and Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct eyeing Debenhams.
