Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Invest in Irish Job Scheme: Discussion.

2:45 pm

Mr. Paul O'Hara:

CoderDojo was started a couple of years ago by an 18-year old. He already has six full-time jobs in a Bank of Ireland office located at the end of Grafton Street. The scheme provides coding education to 4,000 children across Ireland in hundreds of centres. Coders will be the job creators of the future so there is immediate job creation and long term job creation.
