    Actually-existing Smart Dublin: Exploring smart city development in history and context Claudio Coletta, Liam Heaphy and Rob Kitchin Pre-print of a chapter appearing in: Coletta, C., Heaphy, L. and Kitchin, R. (2018) Actually-existing Smart Dublin: Exploring smart city development in history and context. In Karvonen, A., Cugurullo, F. and Caprotti, F. (eds) In- side Smart Cities: Place, Politics and Urban Innovation. Routledge. pp. 85-101. Abstract How does the ‘smart city’ manifest itself in practice? Our research aims to separate substance from spin in our analysis of the actually-existing smart city in Dublin, Ireland. We detail how the smart city has been brought into common discourse in the Dublin city region through the Smart Dublin initiative, examining how the erstwhile ‘accidental smart city’ until 2014 has been rearticulated into a new vision for Dublin. The chapter is divided into two parts. In the first part we map out the evolution of smart urbanism in Dublin by tracing its origins back to the adoption of neoliberal policies and practices and the rolling out of entrepreneurial urbanism in the late 1980s. In the second part, we detail the work of Smart Dublin and the three principle components of current smart city-branded activity in the city: an open data platform and big data analytics; the rebranding of autonomous technology-led systems and initiatives as smart city initiatives; supporting innovation and inward investment through testbedding and smart districts; and adopting new forms of procurement designed to meet city challenges. In doing so, we account for the relatively weak forms of civic participation in Dublin’s smart city endeavours to date.

  • Banking on Silicon Docks
    Banking on Silicon Docks Last update: 25 November 2019 © REUTERS/Cathal McNaughton Even in today's ªweightlessº global economy, location has solid value. After all, it is no coincidence that Silicon Docks, the nickname of Dublin's high-tech hub, should emerge in Ireland. The culmination of a long-term vision to regenerate the capital's dilapidated port area and a dogged determination to convince a still- budding if surging Google to set up its international headquarters in the capital in 2003, Silicon Docks, like Silicon Valley in California, is now attracting global attention. While technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Hewlett Packard all set up headquarters in Ireland beginning in the 1970s, it was Google's arrival in Dublin's docks that consolidated the country's attractiveness with a new contemporary edge. It quickly became the pull factor for other investors, and today Silicon Docks, transformed by Dublin Docklands Authority is home to some 50 international tech firms, including the world's leading ªborn-on-the-internetº companies in sectors such as search, games, e-commerce, online payments, personal services and marketing. The cluster effect of the big names Google, Facebook, Amazon, Yahoo, eBay and Twitter convinced US messaging service Slack to open its European office in Dublin in 2015, while Airbnb moved its European HQ to Dublin in 2014, creating 100 new jobs.

  • The Notorious and the Admired: the Effectiveness of EU Competition Laws to Reign in the Irish Corporate Tax Regime and the Market Power of Google
    Journal of Business Economics and Information Technology http://scientificeducation.org VOLUME III, IS SUE 6, Decembe r 2016 The Notorious and the Admired: The effectiveness of EU Competition Laws to reign in the Irish Corporate Tax Regime and the Market Power of Google Claire Hilla a The George Washington University, USA, Elliott School of International Affairs, October 21, 2016 ARTICLE INFO Article history: Received: November 18, 2016 Received in revised form: December 27, 2016 Accepted: December 10, 2016 Available online: December 20, 2016 KEYWORDS: Competition policy, European Union, corporate tax, Multinational Corporation, tax avoidance ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the European Commission’s implementation of the European Union’s (EU) competition policies as an opposing mechanism towards the tax avoidance schemes of Multinational Corporations (MNCs). The analysis focuses on the Commission’s efforts to curb the market power of Google – the United States (US)-based MNC that is both admired in the public eye for its dominant position as a provider of innovative technology across the globe, and notorious for its ability to earn billions in profits, yet pay little or no corporate tax in the countries in which it does business. This paper will examine the political-economic environments that have permitted Google’s international tax avoidance at the state level in the context of Ireland’s favorable corporate tax regime, and at the supranational level in the context of the EU competition policies and anti-tax avoidance initiatives. Introduction In the 1980s, Ireland began attracting a growing number of top US-based Multinational Corporations (MNCs) largely because of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)-driven policies that leveraged favorable corporate tax rates in hopes of boosting economic development.

  • The Future of Ireland As a Place to Carry on Business in Light of Recent E.U
    THE FUTURE OF IRELAND AS A PLACE TO CARRY ON BUSINESS IN LIGHT OF RECENT E.U. & O.E.C.D. INITIATIVES Author INTRODUCTION Martin Phelan Ireland has long been established as the onshore location of choice for the world’s Tags leading multinational enterprises (“M.N.E.’s”). Although Ireland’s attractiveness as Apple a location for foreign direct investment is based on a number of factors, the low B.E.P.S. corporate tax rate of 12.5% is crucial. Ireland Ireland’s corporate tax regime has received persistent and pervasive scrutiny from Foreign Direct Investment international media in recent times, focusing on topics such as the “Double Irish,” the O.E.C.D. B.E.P.S. initiative, and the Apple investigation. What must not be for- gotten in the midst of such coverage is that Ireland has nothing to hide and nothing to fear from any of the above issues. Ireland is a small jurisdiction, and as far back as the 1950’s, the cornerstone of the economy has been foreign direct investment (“F.D.I.”). Ireland makes no secret of its wish to compete with other jurisdictions for F.D.I., and its highly competitive corporate tax regime, including the 12.5% tax rate, forms part of a broader strategy that allows Ireland to “play to win.” This article will discuss some of the main O.E.C.D. and E.U. initiatives impacting Ireland and the effects such initiatives are likely to have on Ireland and the M.N.E.’s which are based here.

  • Information and Communications Technology Sector in Ireland
    Running head: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECH - IRELAND 1 Information and Communications Technology Sector in Ireland Hansel A. Dsouza Marymount University INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECH - IRELAND 2 Information and Communications Technology Sector in Ireland In 2008 during the global financial crisis, the Republic of Ireland’s economy took a major hit. After a subsequent bailout with the help of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, Ireland has made a steady comeback into global markets. BBC news country profiles say that, “it [Ireland] was transformed from a largely agricultural society into a modern, high-technology economy.” (BBC, 2016) Ireland has a population of 4.7 million (CSO, 2016) and according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development defines access to computers from home as, “the number of households that reported having at least one personal computer in working order in their home.” (OECD, 2017) Figure 1 depicts access to computers from home in the US and Ireland as a percentage of all households. In 2015, 83.5% of all households had access to computers. This number is significant and shows how technologically literate the population of Ireland is. Another important figure that the OECD lists is the number of users connected to the Internet. There is no credible data as to what type of connection each household had, but it is broadly put that it was “either a dial-up, ADSL or cable broadband connection.” In 2015, the OECD stated that 84.9% of all households had Internet access. (OECD, 2017) This data shows that people in Ireland are inter-connected in terms of Internet and tech-savvy as well.

  • Ireland's Hub Status Brings Extra Demands
    Ireland’s hub status brings extra demands CYBER crime and attacks on information systems have become increasingly problematic and challenging and they can have a devastating impact on businesses, from both a financial and reputational perspective, a Killarney conference has been told. There can also be major issues for individuals who can be the target of serious crimes such as fraud and theft, Minister of State at the Department of Justice, David Stanton, told the Cyber Security Transatlantic Policy Forum in Killarney. “Cyber-attacks on governments and elections can be equally devastating, if not more so, having the potential to seriously jeopardise national security and the integrity of democratic institutions,” he said. The minister noted that Ireland's promotion as a tech centre and cyber hub brings with it additional demands, both at the practical and policy levels given the myriad debates on cyber related issues in international fora. The Europe, Middle East and African headquarters for social media giants Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are to be found in Dublin's Silicon Docks and Ireland will become the data storage location of choice for Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, Google and Apple whose services are used by millions of EU citizens. “The governance of cyberspace is different to that in the offline world. This is because cyberspace is less regulated than and its control primarily resides with private, commercial entities. The private sector, in cooperation with law enforcement, plays a crucial role in the regulation of cyberspace,” Minister Stanton told delegates at The Brehon in Killarney. The whole cyber-security agenda is a growing policy priority at both national and EU levels, he stressed.

  • These Little PIIGS Went to Market: Enterprise Policy and Divergent Recovery in European Periphery
    UCD GEARY INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY DISCUSSION PAPER SERIES These Little PIIGS Went to Market: Enterprise Policy and Divergent Recovery in European Periphery Samuel Brazys School of Politics and International Relations and Geary Institute for Public Policy University College Dublin Aidan Regan School of Politics and International Relations University College Dublin Geary WP2015/17 August 25, 2015 UCD Geary Institute Discussion Papers often represent preliminary work and are circulated to encourage discussion.

Research published in this series may include views on policy, but the institute itself takes no institutional policy positions. These Little PIIGS Went to Market: Enterprise Policy and Divergent Recovery in European Periphery Samuel Brazys and Aidan Regan 1 Abstract: The 2008 financial crisis hit few places harder than the European periphery, where five states, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain, came to be collectively known as the ‘PIIGS’. Yet while the PIIGS experienced a similar adjustment to the crisis, the recoveries have shown significant divergence. Ireland, in particular, has stood out as a beacon of growth, not only in the PIIGS but in all of Europe. We challenge the prevailing narrative that Ireland’s exemplary performance is due to its early and ardent adaptation of fiscal ‘austerity’ measures. Instead we argue that Ireland’s path dependent, state-led, ‘enterprise policy’ situated Ireland to be a recipient of foreign direct investment driven by the low borrowing costs, brought on by the United States’ Quantitative Easing (QE) programs.
