Donald Trump has threatened a 10% tariff on eight European allies, including the UK, from February 1 unless they agree to his purchase of Greenland. Ireland, although not among the eight countries threatened, has said tariffs on some member states amounted to tariffs on all member states. Mr Harris, who is Ireland’s deputy premier and finance minister, said that while there is a lot of “noise and threats” about Greenland, “nothing has factually changed”. He said that if the US were to annex Greenland that would “fundamentally alter the transatlantic relationship” and said that that in turn could create a “spiral of events and retaliatory events” across economies and markets. Mr Harris said that the EU was “taken aback” by the threat of tariffs, particularly after an EU-US trade deal was struck last year.

Given Trump’s efforts to get his hands on Greenland, John McManus says it’s time Europe got out its bazooka against the US. There are plenty of ways to pay for a new car these days, but some can lead to a lot more debt than others.

Crumlin Children's Hospital is one of a number of Children's Health Ireland hospitals where “significant concerns” have been rasied over HR shortfalls. “Ineffective” HR systems at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) hospitals have caused “considerable distress” among doctors, some of whom went months without being paid, according to a new inspection report. The Medical Council said HR management across the CHI sites requires “immediate attention”, saying a plan to address widespread inefficiencies, poor communication and potential patient safety issues was required. ICT issues affected doctors at all levels, from consultants to junior doctors, and contributed to delays in care and communication, the Medical Council said. Alongside addressing HR deficiencies, the Medical Council issued a range of recommendations, including implementing a clear and accessible process for raising and escalating concerns.
