I have received the report and recommendations of the Cobh and Harbour Area response group which was set up to propose measures that would offset the economic and employment effects on the area affected by the restructuring of Irish Steel earlier this year. The recommendations contained in this report were not recommendations that could be carried through solely by my Department. To this effect I consulted the Ministers for Finance, Environment and Transport, Energy and Communications on these recommendations and on their possible implementation. I have received responses from these relevant Government Departments and in the light of these replies, I expect to make an announcement in the near future as to the publishing and implementation of the report.
