My Department recently chaired an interdepartmental meeting to discuss the implementation of the National Competitiveness Council's, NCC, recommendations with the relevant Departments concerned. My Department is preparing the first report to the Government arising from their decision of 25 November 2003, at which they agreed that Ireland's competitiveness status, including the implementation of the National Competitiveness Council's recommendations, would be considered by them every six months. It is intended that this report will be presented to Government for its consideration in June of this year.
