IDA Ireland Annual Report 2014: Discussion

Mr. Martin Shanahan:

We have probably traversed a few of them already. To my mind, we need to continue ensuring costs are maintained at a reasonable level. That does not mean that there cannot be inflation in costs. However, it means we cannot outpace our competitors in terms of cost increases. That is probably a significant issue now, as the economy is experiencing increased levels of growth.
