Ireland considers tariff plan to protect local industry
In the Irish Free State budget debate finance minister Ernest Blythe proposes selective import duties on boots and shoes, sugar, cocoa, chocolate, confectionery, soap, candles, bottles, and motor bodies as a cautious protection experiment. The move targets 1b per cent on boots and shoes, 16 per cent on sugar, and 32 13 per cent on motor bodies, with mixed opinion among Irish economists and officials. The policy aims to nurture existing Irish manufacturing, notably the bottle industry, amid Ireland’s break with the British fiscal system under the 1921 treaty.
