Mr. Gerard Brady:

We do not have a direct role, but we have a role in terms of pressuring the Government. There is a structure in place in the plan and the Department of enterprise and the Department of the Taoiseach are the ones with lead responsibility for that. For the business representative groups, there are lots of forums and opportunities for us to have input and to hold the Departments and the Government to account in making sure that the plan is delivered. The first test of that will on 7 October. The plan has a lot of good in it and has been well received by businesses. There is no funding in the plan itself but if it does not have funding attached to it in the budget, that will be the first test of whether it is a serious action plan or whether it is a strategy that is just written down and forgotten about.
