Increasing economically active key to Programme for Government
Growing the Island's economically active population remains a key focus of the government.
That's according to the Minister for Enterprise.
Laurence Skelly says increasing the working population is a cornerstone of the 'Island of Enterprise and Opportunity' strategic objective in the Programme for Government.
Mr Skelly says recent changes to his department will help to achieve that:
