Rebuilding Ireland: A Blue Print for Establishing Ireland as the most Competitive and Sustainable Economy in Europe

Rebuilding Ireland: A Blue Print for Establishing Ireland as the most Competitive and Sustainable Economy in Europe

About the Speech:

At this extremely well-attended event, Deputy Coveny, Fine Gael\'s spokesperson on Energy, Communications and Natural Resources, presented the party's recently published policy paper Rebuilding Ireland: A “NewERA” for the Irish Economy.

This paper argues that the State must take the lead in dragging Ireland out of recession through a stimulus package targeting energy and communications infrastructure, which would create 100,000 new jobs by 2013. The investments would be made through new and restructured state companies, operating under a new state industrial holding company, the New Economy and Recovery Authority (NewERA), and would be financed largely from the national pension reserve fund.

Simon Coveney is an Irish Fine Gael politician. He is currently a TD for the Cork South Central constituency.
