More from Understanding Money with Eoin McGee
In the final episode, Eoin sits down with Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris to ask what Ireland’s new investment scheme will look like. They discuss why Ireland has never really had a culture of investing, whether tax and complexity have put people off, and how a new scheme could help ordinary savers build more financial security over time. Eoin also puts what he has learned from Professor Robert C. Merton, the UK and Sweden to the Minister, and asks whether Ireland can finally get this right. Hosted on Acast.

One of the reasons Irish people don’t invest is simple: a lot of us don’t know how it works. In episode two, Eoin breaks investing down in plain English, from shares and bonds to risk, diversification, and why looking at your investments every day can be a terrible idea. He also speaks with experts in the UK and Sweden to find out how the ISA and ISK schemes work, and what Ireland might learn from them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Irish people are good savers. But are we good investors?
