Last March, the Tanáiste and I launched the Programme for Government Annual Progress Report 2012 , a copy of which can be found on my Department’s website. The report sets out the Government’s work and achievements in its first year in office and outlines key Government prioirities for the year ahead. As outlined in the report, there has been significant activity across all Government Departments with particular attention and progress in stabilising the economy and our finances, improving our international reputation and focusing on the creation of jobs.

The prioirities set out for the Government in 2012 includes action on job creation and economic growth, mortgage arrears and driving the programme of public service, health and Constitutional reform. I can report that work is progressing well with recent developments being the publication of the the Personal Insolvency Bill, the second Action Plan for Jobs Progress Report showing 93% of measures delivered, announcement of the €2.25 billion investment in job-rich public infrastructure projects and progress towards the establishment of the Constitutional Convention. It is my intention to publish a second progress report next March.
