The 2012 Action Plan for Jobs committed to delivering an enhanced, expanded and more integrated support service for micro-enterprise and small businesses in Ireland. As part of these reforms Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) were created within Local Authorities and the 35 existing County & City Enterprise Boards (CEBs) were dissolved. These new LEOs will build on the significant achievements of the County Enterprise Boards to date and will offer an expanded range of supports.
