Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Science Foundation Ireland: Discussion with Chairperson Designate

3:05 pm

Mr. Donal Keane:

In terms of the second question on the Action Plan for Jobs, SFI has a range of targets or responsibilities under the APJ. In some cases we are the lead named agency or partner and in others we are one of many. We report on those through our parent department on a quarterly basis in terms of what has and has not been achieved. We will copperfasten our 2014 targets within the next few weeks; we have a board meeting in less than two weeks. We are formally part of that whole process.
