Mr. Martin D. Shanahan:

Forfás has a number of roles in relation to the Action Plan for Jobs. We have been involved in developing the annual action plan for 2012-13 and are currently working on developing the 2014 action plan together with the Minister and the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. Second, we are involved in the monitoring of the action plan. I am a member of the monitoring committee and we have some staff located in the Department of the Taoiseach who monitor and help that Department monitor the action plan. Third, we have an involvement, as the Deputy has pointed out, in a number of the actions which need to be delivered through the 2013 action plan and we had some actions in 2012.

In regard to the disruptive reforms, there were seven areas singled out for specific attention in the 2013 plan. So there is abroad swathe of actions within the plan. There are 333 actions within the Action Plan for Jobs. A significant number of them coalesce around seven areas. Forfás has a role in a number of those, including the big data analytics disruptive reform, where we are providing research and secretariat support to a group which is identifying the priority areas to take forward under that disruptive reform. There has been significant investment in that area. Earlier this year €80 million invested by Science Foundation Ireland into the Insight programme. We are involved in the ICT skills disruptive reform. We are undertaking a detailed study as to what is required out to 2018 in relation to ICT skills. There are actions undertaken in the delivery of that disruptive reform, so the expectation is that there will be 3,000 additional ICT professionals available to industry who are desperately needed in 2013 and that we would increase the output to 2018.

In regard to trading online, that is an area that is led by the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources together with the involvement of our parent Department, the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and ourselves. It is identifying a mechanism by which we can support businesses, particularly small businesses, to trade online. The expectation is that would be done through a form of an e-trading voucher-type support, but the details of that are currently under way.

There are other disruptive reforms, like the JobsPlus, which was implemented on 1 July; and the health innovation hub, where there is currently a demonstrator project operating in Cork and the analysis is happening currently to set up the national innovation hub.

In terms of the action plan and tangibles, I suppose-----
