Question:

19 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Taoiseach if he will make a statement on the second annual report of the National Competitiveness Council. [12295/99]

The National Competitiveness Council published its second annual report on 5 May. The report assesses Ireland's competitive position based on measures of economic performance and through international benchmarking. The report confirms that Ireland continues to improve its competitive position, while it also identifies areas where further improvement is required.

The report highlights key messages for Ireland's future competitiveness and makes recommendations across a broad range of policy areas. The Government has asked the interdepartmental group on competitiveness, which was established by the Tánaiste last year, to consider the report and prepare a response by the end of July.
