We are all familiar with the phrase that 'justice delayed is justice denied'. But increasingly in the UK it is simply denied. Our MPs appear convinced as committed parliamentarians that the answer to any problem is to pass a law against it. But rarely do they seem to ask themselves how that law will be enforced. Will it be the under-resourced police, or the stretched CPS or, even heaven forbid, the Environment Agency?

Small states like Ireland don’t have the luxury of insular thinking, and yet, much of our daily discourse reads as if the rest of the world doesn’t matter. That is a mistake. Luckily our civil servants are less affected by insularity, perhaps because they cannot afford to be. If that statement surprises you, the monthly briefings on the national finances by the country’s chief economist, for example, always have a few slides on developments in our main export markets.

This is a column about wages and prices. In 2024, inflation is falling, unemployment is near historic lows, and government coffers are bursting.

Unemployment will bounce between 4 and 4.5 per cent. All reports agree: We should see north of 2.9 million people employed by the end of 2025.
