The housing crisis, energy costs and security of supply is making Ireland less competitive in securing new investment into the country, a briefing document given to Enterprise Minister Simon Coveney has stated.

Mr Coveney received the 107-page ministerial brief which was presented to him when he moved to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in December following a Cabinet reshuffle.
