Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Deputy Mary Coughlan)

My Department has not yet made any plans in respect of this matter and is awaiting instructions from the Department of Finance outlining details of the scheme and how it should be implemented in Government Departments. My Department and the Offices of my Department will comply with the instructions from the Department of Finance which will also be brought to the attention of the State Agencies which come under the remit of my Department.
