Ceist:

Minister for Enterprise and Employment (Mr. R. Bruton)

The Government's response to the Industrial Policy Review Group — Culliton — was published in 1993 under the title Employment through Enterprise.

The Department of Enterprise and Employment does monitor the degree to which the various recommendations accepted by the Government have been implemented and the Deputy will appreciate that this is a dynamic process. A detailed progress report was published in May 1994 and my Department is at present finalising the most recent review of implementation to date and it is intended to publish this in the very near future as part of a wider strategy statement on enterprise in Ireland.
