Kenny vows to publish full progress report every quarter

The Taoiseach has promised to publish full details on how many jobs have been gained and lost during his first year in office in a progress report to mark the Coalition’s first anniversary.

Enda Kenny made the pledge as he launched the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, which aims to increase by 100,000 the number of people working by 2016.

He said he could not promise “hand on heart” that this target will be achieved, but believes it is “realisable”.
