Cabinet to review 37 proposals

UP to 37 specific initiatives have emerged from the Global Irish Economic Forum that could be placed before today’s meeting of the cabinet.

A further 22 medium- term objectives have also emerged from the 180 business and cultural overseas participants at the think-in held at Farmleigh, Dublin last month – the brainchild of journalist and economist David Mc Williams.

The appointment of an IFSC tsar to rebrand the IFSC is among the key initiatives to emerge from the two-day event. The new “tsar” and the governor of the Central Bank would travel to the main financial markets to restore confidence to the economy.
