Public Accounts Committee

2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin Sherry:

I will. One of the other things we have done is modify some of our programmes - for example, our key appointment programme - to encourage greater female participation. We found that in key-person appointments, it was sometimes a challenge for a manager in a company looking for a senior appointment in the company to attract a female on a full-time basis. We provided support to enable companies to hire people on a half-time basis. We are trying to lower the barriers to encourage that activity.
