188 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if there are plans to abolish Shannon Development and transfer its functions to other State agencies; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36902/09]
View answerIn July this year, the Report of the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes was published. Among several recommendations contained within the Report was the proposed discontinuation of Shannon Development. As with all Group recommendations relevant to my Department, I am examining the recommendation in the context of Estimates for 2010 and evaluating its potential impact on the provision of services to enterprise and on my efforts to promote employment.
