Government ‘better with troika’

The vast majority of Irish businesses thought the Government was doing a better job of managing the economy under the direct supervision of the troika, according to a survey.

Only 14% of companies think that the Government is doing a better job of handling the national coffers following the departure of the troika six months ago, according to a survey carried out by the software firm, Sage.

Sage’s survey showed that 51% of respondents felt the Government was not doing a better job of economic oversight, with a further 35% responding that they “don’t know”.
