Tom Neville (Limerick County, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Page 41 of the programme for Government relates to the regional action plan for jobs. In my area of Limerick there is a job vacancy rate of 4.47 which equates to the similar rate in Dublin. This is very welcome with an unemployment rate down to 6%. In parts of the county, however, there are economic blackspots in particular sections. Does the Government have any proposals for trying to marry or transition this, to alleviate this vacancy and offset it against the economic blackspots? If not, will the Government consider such an approach?
