Government Agree 'Action Plan' For Job Creation

A range of measures designed to boost job creation have been agreed upon by the government and will be included in the 2013 Action Plan for Jobs to be published in February.

Proposals were discussed during a special Cabinet meeting on Thursday, however the Opposition dismissed the meeting as “a stunt”.

A spokesman said that the Government was determined to create the conditions in which employment could grow and the measures agreed yesterday would contribute to that process, the Irish Times reported.
