National Recovery Plan 2011-2014: Motion

 

Many things in terms of work activation have taken place recently. There are many positives of which I would like to remind us. For example, from July of last year to July of this year, the value of exports were up 12%. In the first half of the year, service exports were 8% higher than in the corresponding period in 2009. Our trade surplus is up 29% to €4 billion. Enterprise Ireland states that its companies will recover approximately 70% of the export earnings lost last year. IDA Ireland won 75 investment projects in the past 12 months which is more than one announcement per week.
