Ms Julie Sinnamon:

We have examples of best practice in local enterprise offices. The key focus for the centre of excellence is to make it consistent across all the offices. There will be a competition element in that people will see what is happening in one region and that will inspire them to do something to raise the bar. That is why the competition between the regions was a key part of the impetus in terms of people rising to the top in Ireland’s best young entrepreneur competition.
