Growth strategy 'Ireland Connected' needs to ensure it joins the dots

Jim Power is putting the Government’s latest financial strategy, ’Ireland Connected’, under the microscope and you don’t want to miss it.

This week the Government launched a strategy - called ‘Ireland Connected’ - for growing Ireland’s exports, foreign direct investment, tourism and international education in the period out to 2020.

While some of us may be cynical about such launches, on the basis that they really just represent a re-hash of previously announced policies, they do fulfil a valuable role in policy making.
