Written Answers - Enterprise Promotion.
The best way to promote enterprise in Ireland, whether by Irish entrepreneurs or by way of inward investment, is to ensure that we offer sustainable competitive advantage as a location for doing business. This involves not just being cost competitive but also requires a ready supply of skilled labour, efficient and effective public utilities, modern infrastructure, a flexible and responsive education system and a taxation system which rewards enterprise, at both the individual and corporate levels.
