It is clear from what I have said that the OECD conducted a wide-ranging and incisive examination of the Irish economy and of the prospects for the future. The Minister for Finance shares the same vision for the economy as that put forward by the OECD. He also shares most of its views on how to make that vision a reality. However, he might differ with some of the more detailed and specific policy prescriptions in one or two areas. This is not tantamount to criticising or rejecting the OECD's valuable report. It is simply a recognition of the fact that, as Minister for Finance, he, together with his colleagues in Government, must decide on the best approach to be adopted in seeking to achieve our goals. The Minister agrees with the broad thrust of the OECD's advice regarding the need to safeguard our international competitiveness and the associated requirement to ensure sound public finances and foster greater competition in the non-traded sectors of the economy.
