 Ireland and France’s Economies Post-Brexit: Stronger TogetherLes relations économiques entre l'Irlande et la France après le BrexitVanessa Boullet ()
Post-Print from HAL Abstract: When the Irish economy was in the doldrums in the 1950s, Sean Lemass (Irish Tánaiste, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Industry and Commerce) and T. K. Whitaker (Secretary of the Department of Finance) decided to develop the economy, with a stronger focus on two dimensions: education to increase the skills of the workforce and encouraging foreign direct investment (FDI)6. These two dimensions remain as valid as ever, with the global economy being more and more a knowledge economy. The Irish education system is now strong and there is no more catching up to do. Still, in order to increase trade and partnerships with France, Irish universities, colleges and institutes could increase the number of Erasmus programmes with France. Indeed, in a post-Brexit strategy, many French universities and business schools are going to seek other Erasmus English-speaking countries to send their students on study abroad programmes for 6 months or one year. This strategy would increase the pool of Irish students studying in France and French students studying in Ireland, more likely to do business in both countries once they graduate.
