Annual Report 2014: Enterprise Ireland

Ms Julie Sinnamon:

The Deputy asked previously about our website. She will be happy to know it has received a great deal of focus in recent months and I am led to believe it is ready to go. It is not mobile friendly, apart from anything else. Things have moved on and a great deal of work has taken place. It is almost complete.

We have undergone massive change during the past year. More than 50 people left the organisation. We are currently in recruitment mode and that is taking up quite a bit of time in terms of external recruitment, as well as some progression within the organisation. We have experienced a great deal of change within the organisation. We are also changing the way we deal with companies, which will be rolled out in 2016. It will be more focused on engagement with the companies that are delivering most and ensuring we are streamlining our engagement to generate maximum impact. We are beginning to see - as new staff join the organisation - that we will be able to rebuild. It has bottomed out and we are taking on new staff.
