While the advancement of Ireland's economic interests is a strong priority for the Department of Foreign Affairs, in particular through the efforts of our Embassies to promote trade, tourism and investment and our efforts to develop the Global Irish Network, I have not commissioned or published any policy papers specifically on employment creation as this is not an issue which comes within the remit of the Department.
