Great to see CBI CEO @RainNewtonSmith at #Lab26, spelling out what's needed to support firms grappling with mounting costs, rising energy bills and renewed concerns about inflation.

NI firms want the Prime Minister and his Chancellor to tun their reform agenda into action.

Businesses and employees are facing barriers to hiring staff and work across the All-Island economy.

With our economy worth £14.6 billion annually, this is damaging firms, labour market and economic growth.

@ibec_irl @CCBSCrossBorder @NIOgov @niexecutive @ESRIDublin @Economy_NI Our joint report with @ibec_irl calls on the Irish and UK governments to review complex tax arrangements for hybrid workers across the All-Island economy.

We also urge ministers to introduce a visa to allow non-Irish or British citizens to work seamlessly across the island. 3/1
