As part of the Government’s Shared Island Initiative, the Department of the Taoiseach requested the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) to undertake research and to produce a comprehensive report on the Shared Island, to inform the development of the Shared Island initiative as a whole of Government priority. Extensive consultation and research informed this report.
The Council’s Shared Island: Shared Opportunity report launched on 12 April is a culmination of work over 2021 / 2022, where NESC published two Council Reports, six Secretariat Papers and one Background Paper on the Shared Island.
