In this episode, Dervla Broderick and Peter Murphy from our EU, Competition & Procurement team discuss the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment’s first annual report on Ireland’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) screening regime under the Screening of Third Country Transactions Act 2023. They examine the key statistics (102 notifications received, with 26 screened transactions), and explore what the data reveals about review timelines, sensitive sectors, and the practical impact on deal planning. The conversation also addresses upcoming EU reforms, as well as lessons from a recent Dutch decision to block a transaction involving a US buyer.
