The Corporate Takeover of Ireland

More about the book

The impact of corporate influence on Irish democracy is critically explored, highlighting how financial power undermines public decision-making. The book discusses significant issues such as the thwarting of initiatives to protect children from advertising and the promotion of alcohol by global corporations. It also examines the transformation of Irish universities into corporate entities, where their research increasingly serves the interests of major pharmaceutical companies, illustrating a troubling shift in priorities away from public welfare.
