Pat Spillane to chair commission responsible for rural jobs strategy
Mr Hogan said: “Getting people back to work remains this Government’s number-one objective. Building on the Action Plan for Jobs, Jobsbridge and the new initiatives I announced in Putting People First, which empowers local government to drive economic development and create jobs at a local level, I am now establishing a new commission that will generate a jobs strategy for rural Ireland.
“The commission will examine the non farming, ’outside the farm gate’ aspects of economic development in rural areas and undertake an extensive public consultation on the future economic potential of rural Ireland and how best to channel funding and resources between 2013 and 2025.
