- Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for the Public Services 2013
Vote 32 - Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (11 Jun 2013) Peadar Tóibín: I refer to my question about the large scale awards. The Minister of State mentioned the sectors these were in and also mentioned the perinatal work in Cork. In regard to other geographical areas, was there, say, a figure of 50% identified for centres outside Dublin and Cork, or are they all to be found in those two city areas? My second question relates to the number of patents being...

Vote 32 - Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (11 Jun 2013) Peadar Tóibín: I refer to page 23, on workplace relations. When will this be presented before committee? Page 24 deals with the Companies Registration Office, CRO. This body will have a big job of work to do with regard to the Companies Bill and to allow for a smooth transition.

Vote 32 - Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (11 Jun 2013) Peadar Tóibín: With regard to venture capital, seed capital, microfinance and credit guarantee, if the Minister is honest, he will be disappointed with the level of uptake and infusion of these structures in the past year.
