Andrew Boylan
Question:119 Mr. Boylan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the Border, midlands and west are recognised at European level as the most deprived areas of the country; if a decision on the Cavan partnership application submitted in 1999 has been made; if she will support this application in view of the fact that local people are forced to seek a livelihood outside of the county; and her views on whether a local employment service for Cavan would be an important asset.
