Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

Nevertheless, the group undertook a very difficult job and is to be lauded for having formulated its report and recommendations. A vision was presented of a future workplace which is agile, customer-centred, knowledge intensive, responsive to employee needs, networked, highly productive, involved and participatory, continually learning and proactively diverse. It is the kind of workplace we all aspire to create. I am prepared to give the report every chance and to work closely with the social partners and others to deliver the quality of workplace envisaged.
