Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I am committed to promoting job creation. We have announced new schemes on internships in the public and private sectors, as well as the Tús scheme. We are developing a comprehensive employment strategy and many of our efforts are aimed at facilitating people to get back to work. We will continue to publish policies on employment. However, there is also a need for practical reforms to allow us to get on with the job. I would be happy to return to the Seanad to debate the Department's role in employment creation.
