Richard Bruton
Question:121 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the membership of the advisory board on industrial development policy.
Written Answers. - Advisory Board on Industrial Policy.
I take it that the Deputy is referring to the creation of an advisory board as proposed by the Review Group on Industrial Policy as part of its overall recommendations in the area of policy formulation. The proposal has been pursued within the context of the restructuring of the industrial development agencies and the creation of the new bodies, Forfás, Forbairt and IDA Ireland, which commenced operations on 1 January 1994.
Forfás has been assigned specific responsibility for policy advice and co-ordination and will, through its members, constitute the advisory board in industrial policy. The membership of the Forfás board is given below.
