DUBLIN:Draft Agreement on Pay, Conditions of Employment and Co-Operation • January 1st, 2003
The Government’s clear objective for the discussions that led to this Programme was to make work at all levels the cornerstone of development action, in the next three years in particular. In doing this, the Government wish to maintain and strengthen the consensus approach of recent years, to underpin our strong economic performance, including the continued improvement of the public finances, and, critically, to deepen the competitiveness of the Irish economy. The consequent boost to growth and investment will be an essential framework for the generation of a much faster rate of employment growth.
