Sinn Fein Seek Irish Jobs
A Sinn Fein motion calling for the development of an all-Ireland Job Creation Strategy is due for debate today at Stormont.
Speaking ahead of the motion, their Enterprise Spokesperson, Phil Flanagan MLA said: "The main item on most people's agenda is the lack of jobs.
"This is something that the Executive in the North and the Dublin Government need to work much more closely on.
"We are calling for the establishment of an all-island job creation strategy, under the auspices of the North South Ministerial Council.
"This would be chaired jointly by both Enterprise Ministers on the island - by Arlene Foster in the north and by Richard Bruton in the south. This strategy would focus on areas of high unemployment across the island," he added.
"It is no coincidence that the areas closest to the border suffer from even higher incidence of unemployment and lack of services then other areas.
"Unemployment and emigration is an island wide problem and therefore it requires an island wide solution."
