Business Attitudes Towards Government Regulations, January 2003
Attitudes to Regulations: Executive Summary
The findings in this report form part of a larger survey conducted into attitudes to the civil service amongst Irish businesses. The research was conducted by Lansdowne Market Research and commissioned by the Public Service Modernisation Division of the Department of the Taoiseach, on behalf of the Research Sub-Group of the Quality Customer Service Working Group. The aim of this element of the survey was to explore the perceived level of burden, that regulation imposes on Irish business. It was further intended to highlight particular areas of regulation, that are seen as the most difficult to comply with.
The research also set out to reveal the overall views and attitudes of businesses regarding government regulation, in particular focussing on the communication of regulations and the degree to which they are seen to be easily understood and implemented. Recommendations are made that should help businesses to better understand the regulations that apply to them, as well as to improve the transparency of the regulatory process.
