Minister for Finance (Mr. Quinn)

As my Department is committed to the promotion of an economy which will maximise growth, sustainable employment and social progress, most of its activities can be regarded as contributing in one form or another to job creation. However, no agency, organisation or body under the aegis of my Department has a direct role in relation to job creation, including the disbursement of grant aid.
