Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

We welcome the pro-enterprise and pro-employment approach in this proposal and we will support it. We agree with the new employment and investment incentive scheme which came into operation on 25 November last and will continue until the end of 2013. Given that this proposal is only being voted through here tonight, will the Minister explain how the 25 November provision will be given retrospective effect?
