Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This is a process that has been agreed by the Government. I cannot give the Deputy a date for the legislation but the intention is that there will be a one-stop-shop in local authorities for small businesses, where they can conduct all their business. The funding for those county enterprise desks will continue to come from the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, will respond directly to the Deputy in respect of when the legislation will be introduced.
