I will examine the areas of the report for which I have responsibility. Business training support is provided by the local enterprise offices, LEOs, to help those who want to start their own businesses. I fully appreciate the major contribution Irish music makes to our culture. Our culture is so important to us, and appears on every brochure that leaves the country. That is why I want to ensure it is continued. This will be the first time we will have put together a cultural policy to state the importance of our culture to us and to outline all the different areas it encompasses and to which it relates. It is important that the document be published and that we get buy-in. I hope to have the draft document shortly and I want people to feed into it and make their views known.
