Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Transatlantic Trade Relations: American Chamber of Commerce Ireland

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Sweetman:

I thank Deputy McCarthy for this follow-on question. Ireland's industrial policy has been based on a theme of competitiveness and it has won investments over a number of years. We can use this pedigree of delivery to also address EU competitiveness. We have seen the Draghi report and the points contained in it and the competitiveness compass. Ireland has a lot to say on how to improve competitiveness. We have a very strong opportunity when it comes to the Presidency in the second half of 2026 to really reinforce this message.
