Public Accounts Committee

Annual Report and Accounts 2012: Discussion with IDA Ireland

12:00 pm

Mr. Barry O'Leary:

Precisely. It also provides for an increase in numbers through conversion courses, JobBridge and so on. In particular, there will need to be more initiatives like the cloud computing programme between EMC and CIT in the Deputy's own constituency. In Athlone, Ericsson is working with 50 graduates on a special dedicated programme. There is much of that happening and a fair number of other initiatives being undertaken, but obviously there is more to do.
