Mr. Richard Murphy:

The replacement of county enterprise boards by local enterprise offices is working its way through an implementation group. The CEB budget for next year will be the same as that for last year. We will be moving forward with the same level of funding.

While a change is under way, the existing staff of the county enterprise board network will be carrying out the same role under the new local enterprise office system. We will not be losing their experience, competence or capability. I heard the Deputy refer to inertia around a decision. There may be inertia around a decision but there is no inertia among the staff. They are an incredibly professional, competent and experienced body of people.
