Responding to the WEF decision, the Tánaiste, Ms Harney, said that the Government had been very willing to host the Summit and was disappointed that it would not now go ahead.

"The Dublin Summit would have presented an ideal opportunity to discuss important issues concerning competitiveness in Europe. In the light of the WEF decision not to proceed, I hope that the WEF will continue with a special focus on Competitiveness during the Davos Summit in January next year" said the Tánaiste.
