The Action Plan for Jobs is a multi-annual strategy initiated in 2012 to ensure a cross-government approach to optimising the environment for enterprise, such that a net additional 100,000 jobs will be created by 2016.

The Action Plans are prepared using internal staff and resources of my Department and those formerly of Forfás. My Department formulates the Plan and co-ordinates the inputs of other government departments and agencies. The only costs arsing relate to printing of the Action Plans.

I am pleased to report that good progress is being made on the implementation of the Action Plan for Jobs 2014 and my Department is currently completing the preparation of the 2015 Action Plan.
