چکیده
This chapter presents an analysis of privatisation in Ireland. It discusses the sale of state owned enterprises, the contracting out of refuse colletion services and Public Private Partnership (PPPs). The analysis of the sale of state owned enterprises demonstrates a clear pattern of improved performance prior to change of ownership. The post-privatisation productivity performance is not as clear cut, with the specific case studies highlighting the importance of product market competition as a driver of sustained productivity growth. This lesson also emerges from an examination of the experience of the contracting out of services strong competition for contracts is an important determinant of whether efficiency gains accrue.
