Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Job Creation Initiatives: Discussion with ConnectIreland

2:20 pm

Mr. Terry Clune:

There are 600 or so GAA clubs internationally and they have given us great help in spreading the word. In the new year we will start with a pilot group of clubs in each county rather than rolling out the scheme across every club and county. We will pilot the scheme with a certain number and extend it in the way we are doing it with community groups. Rather than go to every community group we are piloting the scheme with approximately ten to 12 in ten counties in the first quarter of next year. Based on that experience we will roll it out to a much wider audience.
