Micheál Martin rules himself out of presidential race
With speculation growing over who may or may not run in autumn's presidential election, questions have been asked over whether Fianna Fáil will run a candidate and - if it does - who it may be.
A number of names have been speculated about in recent weeks, with the Taoiseach's name mentioned in some quarters.
However, speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme, Mr Martin made it clear he will not be a candidate, saying: "No, I'm not, definitely not."
Asked if Fianna Fáil is likely to run any candidate amid ongoing speculation over a number of potential contenders, the Taoiseach said his party will "consider" the question "over the next number of weeks".
However, he added: "A lot of names have been floated in association with Fianna Fáil.

Harris says Govt 'not rowing back' on hospitality VAT cut
Tánaiste Simon Harris has said he is "not rowing back" on Programme for Government commitments to cut the hospitality VAT rate despite saying the timing of any measure will be decided on budget day. Speaking to reporters at Government Buildings, the Tánaiste said while the cut will be the "subject of budget negotiations", the Programme for Government has made "clear commitments" in relation to the matter. Last week, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe indicated that while the hospitality VAT rate cut from 13.5% to 9.5% is still planned, introducing the measure in autumn's budget would take up almost two thirds of the available tax reduction space. In the immediate aftermath of the remark, a number of Government sources indicated that the hospitality VAT rate cut could now be delayed until next summer - a move understood to be supported by some in Fianna Fáil but opposed by Fine Gael. Asked about the possible delay to the tax cut, which business groups say is needed in order to protect jobs, Tánaiste Simon Harris said "the timing of any measure will be a matter for budget day". However, when asked if he is "rowing back" on his previous position in early summer that the tax cut commitment was a "solemn" promise, he added: "I'm not rowing back on anything, but I suppose I'm being respectful to the budgetary process. "The Programme for Government says what it says. I believe the Programme for Government is very important, it's a contract between two political parties and some Independent TDs, and therefore I believe the words in it matter. "It talks about reducing the cost base for small businesses, particularly in the hospitality sector around food. And we'll work our way through that." The Tánaiste repeated his position that he is "not going to get into specific budget measures or the timing, other than to say all of this can be discussed in the round". However, he said that "towards the end of the summer" Government intends "to take stock again" in relation to the potential impact of international trade and tariffs deals, "and then we'll reserve the right to finesse the summer economic statement as required".

Watch: Questions remain over US tariff exemptions
Questions remain over which areas are exempt from US tariffs on EU goods, RTÉ's Economics and Public Affairs Editor David Murphy has said. Speaking on RTÉ's One News programme, Mr Murphy said there is an awful lot of trade in terms of wine and spirits between the EU and the US and there was talk that those imports could be exempt from tariffs. However, any exemption for these products remains uncertain. In relation to pharmaceuticals, Mr Murphy said the US investigations into pharmaceuticals and semiconductors will need to play out before there is certainty surrounding tariffs on those products. "Thereafter, there is an expectation that there would be a tariff with a ceiling on that of 15%," he said regarding possible future tariffs on pharmaceutical imports. However, Mr Murphy stressed that the EU deal with the US was better than some others with Canada hit with 35% tariffs, India subject to a 25% rate and tariffs of 39% placed on Swiss imports to the US. Today had been set as the deadline for reaching a trade deal with the US, but following a breakthrough in talks last Sunday, an agreement was reached on a 15% levy on most EU exports to the US, expected to take effect on 7 August.

Government could generate up to €118m in tax revenue by setting targets for remote job creation, advocate says
It comes as AIB last week announced that its workers must return to the office for a minimum of three days per week from January 2026 in a reversal of its Covid-era policy for non-customer-facing staff. According to Tracy Keogh, co-founder of remote working advocacy group Grow Remote, approximately 100,000 remote jobs are made available across the European Union each month. Ms Keogh said the Irish Government could benefit from a substantial increase in tax revenue if it proactively embraced the work-from-home model in its workforce. "People probably won't know that there's 100,000 remote jobs open across the European Union every month,' she told RTÉ's Morning Ireland. 'If we set a target to win five per cent of those, that's 5,000 jobs.' She added that, if we take the average salary of a remote job at €60,000, this would represent a significant amount of tax generated by Revenue. 'That would be 48 million in taxpayer income per year.' She argues that the establishment of a national target by a pro-remote working government will not just benefit the country in terms of collected revenue, but it would also protect isolated areas of the workforce in the event of a company exodus. "If one [foreign direct investor] pulls out of a rural or regional place, we have left that town stranded. If we have remote jobs coming into the market, that's 118 million from the taxpayer.' Ms Keogh pointed to fintech firm Revolut's recent announcement of 200 remote jobs in Europe for which anybody living in Europe can compete for. "We need a national target to land those jobs into Ireland.' The prospect of businesses mandating a return to the office could see an inevitable worker exodus to remote jobs based on the Continent in search of more flexible working conditions. "In terms of AIB and any other company who since Covid, has decided to pull people back in who were working brilliantly remotely [...] have access to those 100,000 jobs that are available on the market. Ms Keogh acknowledges pushback from employers on the issue, particularly in the realm of employee productivity. This doesn't need to be one silver bullet for every person and company across Ireland. However, she is urging them not to see the advent of remote work as a threat to profitability. "If an employer doesn't want to embrace remote, they don't need to embrace remote. "This doesn't need to be one silver bullet for every person and company across Ireland.' Addressing fears that a growth in remote jobs could result in remote employers competing with office-based employers for workers, Ms Keogh says there should be no in-between. "You should have people who are working in companies, or want remote jobs, working in remote companies. "Then for those companies like AIB, where they have branch staff who have to be on site and present, they will have that tension, and that probably was a factor in how they came to the decision to ask people to come back into the office.'
