75 Mr. Clohessy asked the Minister for Education if she has studied the consultant's report carried out for FÁS and FORFÁS examining the role of education and training up to 2010; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1768/97]

The FORFÁS Report Shaping our Future—A Strategy for Enterprise in Ireland in the 21st Century was published in May 1996. The findings in the report were informed by a number of consultancy studies on a variety of themes, including a study by Mclver Consulting entitled Vision 2010—Education and Training Study. Both reports focused on the development of a long-term strategy to promote the central role of enterprise in supporting economic and social progress in the period up to 2010.
