Dr. Bryan Fields:

We have a direct connection with the IDA, which we have met on a number of occasions, most recently in relation to social media training for the companies it will invite into the Grand Canal area of Dublin. We have the skills and labour market research unit which assists with the publication of the skills bulletins of the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs. The IDA is also represented on that group. We have direct and indirect interaction.
