Programme for Government
Our initial Programme for Government made clear that its delivery was based on a growth rate of 4.5%. It was negotiated prior to the worst global downturn since the 1930s. Our review is about ensuring the Programme for Government reflects current economic realities.
Achievement of the goals set out in both documents, subject to resources, will provide the political basis of Government action, until we complete our term in 2012.
Report of the Government's progress towards implementation of the Programme for Government
This Programme for Government sets out in clear and ambitious terms our shared vision for Ireland’s development over the coming five years.
The hard work of Irish people has helped to create a dynamic society and a strong economy. This Government will work with the Irish people to safeguard the gains made, and to build a strong and sustainable nation for future generations.
We believe that the contents of this Programme will act as a blueprint for the next five years. It addresses the major challenges which we face, and sets out how these challenges can be addressed and overcome. Working with energy and commitment, we believe that Ireland can now turn the challenges we face into opportunities.
