Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The remarks of the Secretary General of the OECD are a matter for the OECD. The Secretary General took the opportunity to meet a number of Government representatives in the context of a number of documents launched by him, including one on activation measures about which I had some serious discussions with him. All Members of the House would be of the view that the OECD provides robust analysis not only of our economy, but of many other economies in the world. The views expressed are those of the OECD and not the Government.
