The Minister, Deputy Bruton, is taking on board the forum's key recommendations and he will carefully assess the actions required by his Department before he brings them to the Government advisory group on small business. The new Action Plan for Jobs already incorporates some of these recommendations and we are getting there year by year. I thank Sean O'Sullivan for his work on coming up with good ideas that do not cost large sums of money and attract the involvement of business people. For example, successful business people could mentor those who are starting up companies. By this means people can give something back to the State. I am very impressed by the 69 recommendations in the report. All of them will be assessed and immediate action will be taken in respect of some of them.
