Jobs are growing right across the country, and unemployment is falling in every region; however some areas are performing better than others. That is why we have put in place our regional jobs plans, to accelerate employment growth in every area. cut-e is a great example of the type of company my Department supports in every region of the country, through Enterprise Ireland.
