We regularly get requests for debates on competitiveness. As I have often said, the problem with such debates is that they return to the single issue of price and cost competitiveness. Yesterday's edition of The Irish Times carried a grim report on foreign managers working in Ireland and their perception of their Irish counterparts. They saw Irish managers as essentially being unimaginative, unstructured and paying little or no attention to deadlines etc., whereas Irish mangers thought they were doing a great job. If we are to debate competitiveness, I would like it to encompass all aspects. Forfás reports correctly highlight the cost of living but this is not the only issue in competitiveness.
