From Success to Sustained Success: The Irish Experience.

The article delves into the success of the living standards and economic growth of Ireland. The country's average annual rate of real gross domestic product (GDP) growth over the 1995-2007 period increased by 7%. Such success is attributed to the citizens who worked for sound public policies, social cohesion, and good governance. Their strategy is comprised of a system-wide review of the civil service and the public sector, a peer review process with five countries, and a steering group and an external advisory group representing a sector of the society led by the Secretary General to the Government.
