I intend to chair a meeting on Thursday, 2 June which will be attended by the Ministers for Finance; Public Expenditure and Reform; Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation; Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and Transport, Tourism and Sport together with the relevant economic regulators coming under the aegis of their Departments and senior Departmental officials. The purpose of the meeting is to examine ways in which Ireland's regulation of major sectors of the economy can contribute to stronger economic recovery through facilitating investment and employment growth and minimizing business and consumer costs. I look forward to a constructive meeting and the initiation of an on-going and positive engagement between Ministers, Departments and regulators on this agenda.
