Regional Spread of Growth and Jobs (see the Jobs, Enterprise and Regional Growth chapter for further detail): Fine Gael will continue to implement Regional Enterprise Strategies to help spread growth to all areas. The aim of the Regional Enterprise Strategies, which are at the heart of the latest Action Plan for Jobs, is to encourage agencies and companies to work together and build on the competitive strengths of each region. Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) (see the Jobs, Enterprise and Regional Growth chapter for further detail): During a second term of government we will continue to develop the LEO network, to ensure that the standard of service delivered is consistent across the country and that any SME or prospective SME that visits its LEO will receive high-quality mentoring, support and seamless access to the wider range of Enterprise Ireland supports for high-potential enterprises.
