The Task Force comprises the following members:

· Denis Brosnan (Chairperson)

· John Herlihy

· John Fitzgerald

· Martin Cronin

· Roger Downer

· Brian O'Connell

· Anita Higgins

· Ken Sullivan

· Kay McGuinness

· Vincent Cunnane (Chief Executive)

Mr Cronin and Mr Cunnane are the Chief Executives of Forfas and Shannon Development, respectively. The remaining members are from the private sector. I understand that the Task Force has been meeting every two weeks and I am expecting an interim report from the Task Force in the near future.
