Committee on European Union Affairs
Eurofound: Discussion
2:00 am
Robert O'Donoghue (Dublin Fingal West, Labour)
I congratulate Eurofound on making it to 50. As an ex-data analyst, I agree with Deputy Murphy that data-driven policy is definitely the right way to go. Could the witnesses talk generally about two areas and whether they have done research on them in the past year? On productivity, has Eurofound made any recommendations regarding improving productivity in the EU with the likes of the effects of finishing off the Single Market for services or the 28th regime from the Draghi report as to how that might improve productivity or scalability of companies? Has Eurofound made any recommendations or done any research on how we can best navigate through changing employment sectors across the bloc, given headwinds like the Trump tariffs?
