A quick intro

This is a test wiki, or workspace to experiment with and see if it is possible to provide a useful repository of some key information on policy in Ireland that is inspired by the commentary on The Irish Economy blog.  We are interested in using a wiki to provide an easy to access central repository of information and discussion on Irish government strategy, mainly economic.   The idea is to provide a place to find key reports, statistics and opinions on the major policy areas in Ireland.  There is no way with limited time and no resources to provide all the data that you might expect, but with a bit of time, the power of crowds and wikinomics it may be possible to start creating a central place to find data and, get up to speed and discuss issues.
