Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Does the Minister accept that the last Government failed to replace jobs, particularly in the manufacturing sector, in regional towns? There have been significant losses in this regard. Has the high level working group on manufacturing made any specific recommendations to the Government? If so, when will we be told what those recommendations are? Has the group identified sectors that would make suitable replacements for declining manufacturing industry and the skills needed for the workforce to become employable in target sectors?
