County Enterprise Boards (Dissolution) Bill 2013: Second Stage

 

I welcome the change provided it is not just cosmetic or for the sake of some ticking off some aspect of the programme for Government. We must see real change in areas which are not getting jobs, and I include all parts of the country. As I said earlier, Dublin seems to be getting its fair share and there are reasons for that. There is no reason companies cannot locate in rural areas because we have broadband, services, skills, institutes of technology and universities in those areas. Hopefully, in four or five years' time, we will see the results of this and that the programme for Government can produce the jobs which will sustain areas and keep our graduates locally if they wish to remain.
