County enterprise board legislation

Summary

Peadar Tóibín asks when legislation replacing the county enterprise board sector will be introduced; the Taoiseach expects it during the session, with pilot schemes soon.

The county enterprise board sector has been in limbo since 2008 when the former Minister, Mr. Batt O'Keeffe, signalled that it was going to come to an end. Since then, the sector has been rudderless and morale has been low. The Government promised legislation on this to which the SME sector is opposed. When will this legislation come before the Dáil?

That will be this session. I expect there will be two or three pilot schemes operational very quickly.
