Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. Terry Clune:

The main review and roll-over was 12 months ago. There was also a review after the first year, and I expect that was to make sure the initiative was working and growing as expected. After the first year it was automatically renewed. Then, up to 12 months ago, ourselves and the IDA discussed renewing it for one further year with a view to winding down that agreement, on the basis that in the last six months there would be a further tender issued by the IDA. The only thing that has not happened is that last piece. That is what we have been promised all along-----
