Thomas P. Broughan
Question:13 Mr. Broughan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will inform Dáil Éireann of her proposals for the merging of Forbairt, An Bord Tráchtála and the industrial training side of FÁS; if she intends to meet the trade unions in the organisations involved to inform them of her proposals and seek their views, in view of the fact that they are partners to Partnership 2000; her views on whether it is necessary; the study or report she is relying on to support her proposals; and if it is her intention to invite representatives of the staff in the agencies to participate in the steering committee which she is reported to be setting up to address the organisational structures for the new agency.
