Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand the report, carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit in partnership with Compecon Limited, commenced in May last year and has recently been completed. The report is currently under consideration by the Government in the context of the overall work programme of the Cabinet committee on economic renewal. The issue of publication will be considered in that context. The cost of the project is approximately €400,000.
