The High Level Group on Labour Market Issues was established earlier this year and has had one meeting to date. The Group is chaired by my Department and its membership is comprised of officials from the Departments of Enterprise, Trade & Employment; Social & Family Affairs; Education & Science; and Community, Rural & Gaeltacht Affairs; and two nominees each from the Employer, Union, Community & Voluntary and Farming Pillars of Social Partnership. Currently, work in this area is being progressed by a cross-departmental Senior Officials Group under the Cabinet Committee on Economic Renewal. Further meetings of the High Level Group will be convened as necessary.
