Seanad
‹ Order of Business Jobs and retail recovery
Summary
Senator Mullins asks for the Jobs Action Plan and a ministerial debate to accelerate job creation, especially in the struggling retail sector.
I hope Action Plan for Jobs 2014 will be published soon. I support the call to ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, to come to the House for a debate immediately after Christmas. We need to get working on job creation to accelerate it in areas of the economy that are not performing. The retail sector needs particular attention. The year will end on a very positive note. I want to ensure 2014 has an even more positive start.
