2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Leo Clancy:

That is a great question. We are constantly reviewing our office network and will make adjustments where we need to. The last office we opened formally was in Manchester and the one before that was in Lyon. I think they opened around the same time for different reasons. The Deputy is right. It is important for us always to look at where the opportunities are and where things are happening so it is under review. Post Covid, we will let things settle a bit. Simply reopening the offices we already had was challenging in itself. Now we are reviewing where we might need new offices. The Government has been very helpful. We have opened many new offices under the Global Ireland strategy and we know the State remains open through Ireland Houses in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs to house us. We get great support from the Department in locations where we are not located in terms of departmental staff being open to help us with the economic agenda. From a Team Ireland point of view, we get great support across the system and there is always an openness to us.
