and benefit from that

7. Our business priorities 2014-2016
1. We need to reduce the tax burden: Ireland is out of
line internationally and our income tax rates, in particular,
are too high. Irish consumers deserve a break.
2. We need better government: Poorly designed policy,
legislation and regulation add to the cost of doing
business and are an obstacle to growth and job creation.
3. We need to invest in the future: To meet our future
economic needs, we need to spend much more on
infrastructure projects and skills and education.

8. 4. We need to extend Ireland’s global reach:
International debates on tax and EU reform could
have major implications for Ireland. We need to
influence and shape the agenda.
5. We need to promote entrepreneurship:
Business need to have access to effective enterprise
supports, credit and export markets. Risk needs to be
rewarded.

9. MANAGING
YOUR
PEOPLE
Your workforce can
be your greatest
asset. Realising it’s
full potential is a
responsibility and
sometimes a
challenge.
