To say the least, we are living in strange and unprecedented times. The coronavirus pandemic is arguably the greatest crisis the world has faced in living memory. It has implications for several areas of social policy, not the least of which is the economy.
In Episode 6 of our Interview series, SJI's Economic Analyst Eamon Murphy chats with Dr. Tom McDonnell, co-Director of the Nevin Economic Research Institute, to discuss the Irish government’s response to COVID-19, what else might be needed to ensure a robust recovery when this pandemic subsides, and the lessons to be learned from this crisis.
