Fenergo to hire 300 people in Ireland in €100m R&D expansion
The firm, which was acquired by European private equity interests in a €600m transaction in 2021, says that the jobs will be in engineering, AI and other areas of the business. The move would double the firm's Irish headcount. A further 200 international jobs are also planned, the company added. The hiring is scheduled over the next three years with support from Enterprise Ireland. 'The new roles will enable Fenergo to further deliver on its mission to support financial institutions in fighting financial crime and creating a safer world,' said a company spokesperson. 'Fenergo will continue to build out its intelligent, AI-powered solutions for client lifecycle management, anti-money laundering and 'know your customer'.' Fenergo has achieved global success with software that helps companies with financial compliance and regulatory rules. Majority owned by the private equity firms Astorge and Bridgepoint, Fenergo's last valuation was approximately €1bn, making it one of a handful of Irish 'unicorns', privately-held companies worth more than $1bn. Recruitment for mid-level engineering and R&D positions is now underway, the company said. Fenergo also announced a graduate programme to attract up to 30 university graduates. 'This investment and growth of our Irish operations reflect our confidence in the excellent talent pool we have in this country, and a market where innovative thinking, entrepreneurship and evolving technology will propel Fenergo to new heights,' said Marc Murphy, CEO and founder of Fenergo. 'With AI at the core of our strategy, we are committed to delivering future-proof solutions for financial institutions in Ireland, across Europe, the UK, America, Middle East and Asia, supporting them during times of intensifying geopolitical tension and regulatory uncertainty." The company was talking as Enterprise Ireland announced client company export figures for 2024 of €36.75bn, up 7pc on 2023. The agency said that all territories and major sectors recorded increases and that its previously-stated strategic target of €30bn in exports had been surpassed. It said exports to Europe grew by 8pc to €10.63bn, representing 29pc of total exports. 'This is the first time that exports to this region have surpassed the UK, making Europe now the largest export territory for Enterprise Ireland's client base,' the agency said in a statement. The UK saw €10.52bn of exports in 2024 by EI client companies, up 4pc on 2023 and surpassing the €10bn mark for the first time. The North American market saw growth in exports of 8pc to €7.3bn in 2024.

Irish adults rank among richest in Europe – but cost of living and inflation means many do not feel benefits
Surging property prices have ensured that the average Irish adult is now 30pc richer than British people, according to a report from wealth managers Unio Wealth Management. This is despite the fact that middle-income people feel financially stressed, the report states. Average net wealth per adult has been calculated at €323,000. This is a jump of €140,000 from 2013, when the country was emerging from the financial collapse. Despite the fact that many will argue that they are barely managing financially, Ireland now ranks second among the European Union's wealthiest nations, after Luxembourg. Unio, which has offices in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, used data from the European Central Bank, Eurostat and other organisations to arrive at its conclusions. We just don't feel it on account of difficulties with housing, childcare and infrastructure Director and chief investment officer of Unio, Mike O Sullivan said Irish people do not feel wealthy. 'To many people, Ireland is a rich country, but we just don't feel it on account of difficulties with housing, childcare and infrastructure rollouts in comparison with our European counterparts.' He added that much of Ireland's wealth is 'new wealth' and there are fewer multi-generational businesses compared to other EU countries, which suggests Irish people are still coming to terms with the notion of wealth. The report found that net wealth per adult in Ireland is now higher than the height of the Celtic Tiger, up by €140,000 in the last 12 years. According to a Red C sentiment survey commissioned by Unio, only 10pc of Irish people consider themselves 'quite wealthy'. And only 40pc of Irish people feel wealthier than they were 10 years ago, with younger people and those in higher income brackets most likely to express this sentiment. Irish people are divided on the concept of wealth, with an equal number of respondents feeling comfortable with the term as those who feel uncomfortable. Unio found that Irish people are not highly indebted, on average. Property accounts for two-thirds of the wealth of Irish people. This has been put at €250,000 per adult. Financial assets, such as investments and pensions, around for a third of wealth, or around €114,000 on average. Household debt averages €40,080 per adult, or 11pc of gross assets. Compared to its EU neighbours, Ireland is a wealthy country, Unio said. Average household wealth in Ireland has grown more rapidly than other EU countries, apart from countries which began from a much lower base. Ireland was a middle-ranked EU country back in 2013, but faster growth has enabled Ireland to rise through the ranks, and now stands in second place, only lagging Luxembourg. Irish households are statistically much wealthier Mr O Sullivan said Ireland does not have a lot of 'old money'. 'Although Irish adults are 30pc richer than their UK counterparts, the UK has a far greater level of multi-generational wealth than Ireland, although that is now changing.' But he said the report paints a picture of a stressed middle class. 'Irish households are statistically much wealthier compared to other European nations but there isn't a broad sense of wealth among the population, which can likely be attributed to inflation and a high cost of living along with people associating their incomes as a sole measure of wealth.'

Tánaiste to meet Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan for annual forum
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris will meet with Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan in Swansea this morning for the annual Ireland-Wales Forum. It is expected that a new statement of co-operation between both governments, covering the next five years, will be agreed today. The forum was established in 2021, in the aftermath of Brexit, to help strengthen ties between both countries. It aimed to build on an Irish-Welsh regional cooperation agreement that operated when the UK was part of the EU, but which lapsed when the UK left the bloc. The first co-operation agreement was signed in Cardiff in 2021 between former Tánaiste Simon Coveney and former First Minister Mark Drakeford. Previous achievements from the forum include the Greenlink interconnector between Wexford and Pembrokeshire. The new 2030 Statement will establish a new framework for bilateral co-operation until the end of the decade. Speaking ahead of the forum, Tánaiste Simon Harris said that the new shared statement "underlines the breadth of connection between us, across trade, research, energy, culture and language". Ms Morgan described the new statement as a "step forward" in the relationship between both countries. As part of today's forum, both Mr Harris and Ms Morgan will meet with researchers at Swansea University, who are working with research colleagues in Cork and Limerick. They will also meet with the energy company MaresConnect, which is building an interconnector between Wales and Ireland.
