ESRI Conference on Economic Renewal: Public Services
Venue: The ESRI, Whitaker Square, Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2
Date: 14/12/2011
Time: 08.30 - 12.45
What can Ireland do to improve and maintain public services when budgets are being cut? This is the focus of the second in a special series of half-day conferences on economic renewal, hosted by the ESRI. Researchers are presenting the best available evidence, both international and domestic, to address the following key issues for public services:
- What is the potential role of pay for performance in improving quality and efficiency in Irish health care?
- Can we improve the quality of second-level education despite the funding shortage?
- How does the general public rate the quality of different public services in Ireland?
Policymakers and other interested parties were invited to discuss the evidence offered and to respond to the ideas and issues raised.
