The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment will recall that we discussed recently in this House the need to accelerate the provision of enterprise centres and the development of work space. Enterprise centres have been important in the development of the rural economy.

As the Minister of State, Deputy English, knows, in my own counties of Cavan and Monaghan there have been good development enterprise centres but we need further development. We must develop a new policy, particularly with a dedicated fund to establish such enterprise centres.
