Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Invest in Irish Job Scheme: Discussion.

2:35 pm

Ms Loretta Glucksman:

Another model that could work is Music Generation, which we established some years ago. It makes music education available to 10,000 children and has created 130 jobs. We created a free-standing entity with money raised from our donors. It is free of the fund, as we raised the capital. The basic numbers in the scheme will be up to the committee and the Government, but there is a relatively small model at home that has been successful in just a few years.
