Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
White Paper on Enterprise Policy: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment
Mr. David Hegarty:
We have not set a target in the White Paper concerning those metrics, but we do monitor them on an ongoing basis, including through the work of the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council, NCPC, for which we provide a secretariat. A whole range of indicators is contained in the Impact 2030 strategy. In the White Paper, we focus on the GERD and the BERD indicators, but essentially there we are following what is set out in Impact 2030. This was agreed by the Government just last year. The White Paper simply reaffirms that strategy and sets out its importance in the context of enterprise policy.
