The Government's response to the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council's Ireland’s Competitiveness Challenge report 2024 was published on 5 November last.

The Government's response was co-ordinated by the Department of the Taoiseach, drawing together material from relevant Departments. This was the fifth year in which a formal response was issued by the Government to the council's annual competitiveness challenge report. The response addressed the 20 recommendations made by the council to the Government.

In its response, the Government welcomed the advice and views of the council and agreed on the importance and relevance of its recommendations to Ireland's continued competitiveness.

For a significant majority of the recommendations made by the council, meaningful action is under way and this is outlined in the formal response.
