National Recovery Plan 2011-2014: Motion
The Government announced the plan, Trading and Investing in a Smart Economy, which sets a number of ambitious targets to be achieved by 2015. It will increase the number of new export-focused jobs by more than 150,000 with a similar number of indirect jobs also being created. It will increase the value of exports by indigenous companies by a further 33%, diversify the destination of indigenous exports, increase overseas visitors by 8 million and secure an additional 780 inward investment projects through IDA Ireland. This plan will also help farmers and firms expand their market share overseas and will boost food exports. It worth noting that Ireland remains the largest exporter of beef in the world, supplying food for 30 million people throughout the European Union.
