238. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Taoiseach the working groups his Department has with industry; the members of the groups; and the way the members of each group were selected. [51311/21]
View answerThe Department of the Taoiseach has no working groups with industry in place.
The Taoiseach has regular engagement with businesses and representative groups. This includes in the context of the Labour Employer Economic Forum (LEEF), the forum for dialogue between Government, employers and trade unions. LEEF was established in 2016 and plenary meetings are now chaired by the Taoiseach.
In LEEF, employers are represented by Ibec, the Construction Industry Federation, and Chambers Ireland, while trade unions are represented by ICTU.
