Enterprise <strong>2009</strong> was a particularly challenging year for enterprises in Ireland. <strong>The</strong> collapse in demand on domestic and international markets, the fall off in construction activity coupled with constraints on credit availability, and the consolidation required in the public finances resulted in a sharp focus on policy actions to help viable enterprises survive and prepare for the upturn. Throughout the year, Forfás undertook research and analysis on a range of issues to help respond to the immediate crisis facing businesses with the goal of ensuring that supports for enterprises are meeting business needs for the future. This work ranged from assessing the options for improving access to finance for firms, the tax and expenditure priorities for the two budgets in <strong>2009</strong>, economic appraisal of supports from the enterprise development and reduce red tape. In addition Forfás led on major reviews of the opportunities for future growth in the life sciences and green economy areas.
