Ms Karen Hynes:

There are nine regional enterprise action plans. They are overseen by the Department, which provides the secretariat, but they are really collaborative initiatives at regional level that bring together all the stakeholders, including enterprise agencies, local authorities, education institutes and training boards. They come up with actions to create employment and support enterprise development in each region. Funding is made available through competitive calls. Projects identified by the regional enterprise plans can compete for funding. There will be a further funding call later on this quarter for those types of actions. We can send a full briefing note on that.
