Mr. Tom Boland:
He is not heading it up. There is a principal officer in charge of enterprise engagement, although the position is vacant at the moment. He acts more in an advisory role and he has taken on some specific tasks. In addition, he is very valuable to us in terms of advising on skills needs in the economy and he is working with the Department on the development of a skills strategy for the country. What we are doing is engaging him in the areas of his expertise in the past. Another significant area where his advice and support and expertise is very valuable is in the rolling out of the new apprenticeship programmes-----
