Written Answers. - Employment Expansion.
The creation of a climate conducive to employment expansion is fundamental to the future development of the Irish economy and is not a matter which falls within the responsibility of any one Minister or Department. The Government and the social partners, through the Programme for Economic and Social Progress, are fully committed to develop a modern efficient market economy capable of continuing and sustaining economic and employment growth.
