Mr. William Parnell:

The Chairman had two questions. I will ask my colleague, Mr. Wrynn, to speak about the enterprise centres. I will address the question on the Action Plan for Jobs and the sectors that have produced jobs. Over the years the Action Plan for Jobs has focused on a combination of thematic objectives and specific sectors. The thematic areas on which we have been focusing include improving the skills of the economy, improving entrepreneurship and improving energy efficiency throughout the economy. There are also specific sectors such as agrifood, manufacturing, tourism, information and communications technology as well as areas like construction and retail. We have focused on these areas in recent years. One important development in terms of identifying the sectors that have strength at a local or regional level has been the launch of the new regional action plans for jobs. Indeed, there will be an action plan for the Border region launched in the coming weeks.
