Press Release: Ireland’s service economy provides viable avenue to sustainable growth

The report of the Services Strategy Group, 'Catching the Wave: A Services Strategy for Ireland', was published on 12 September 2008 and launched by Mary Coughlan, the Irish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment. The report sets out new policy proposals on how the Irish State can ensure the continued development and growth of the country's services sector.

The Services Strategy Group was set up by Forfás, Ireland's national policy and advisory board for enterprise, trade, science, technology and innovation, in July 1997. It is made up of representatives of industry, academia, government departments and state agencies, to develop a comprehensive, forward-looking assessment of how to maximise the returns to Ireland from services.
