The Economic Division in my Department supports me and the Government in developing and implementing policy across relevant areas to support sustainable economic development including job creation, infrastructure, housing and climate action, digital issues, quality of life and well-being, and social dialogue. This work is particularly focused on ensuring a coordinated approach to the delivery of the Programme for Government and issues that cut across multiple departments.

The Division supports the work of the Cabinet Committees on Economic Recovery and Investment, Housing, and the Environment and Climate Change, as well as associated Senior Officials Groups. The Division also maintains an overview of progress in key policy and sectoral areas in line with Government priorities, leads Ireland's participation at the annual European semester process, liaises with the Central Statistics Office, and provides me with briefing and speech material on economic and related policy issues.
