Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
White Paper on Enterprise Policy: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment
Ms Caoimhe Gavin:
One of the things we would see as part of the national clustering programme, as we developed it, is a national co-ordination mechanism. The Deputy mentioned that a lot is happening organically, which is great and shows there is a demand among those sectors. However, what we would like to do through the national clustering programme is to provide a national clustering co-ordination mechanism that builds the capacity within those cluster organisations through training, through technical advice and through developing cluster managers. Part of the top-down approach would be putting a structure in place to help build those and to build capacity at national level.
