Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Challenges Facing the Technology Sector: Discussion

Ms Mary Buckley:

What we do in IDA Ireland is engage with companies when there are job losses and seek to determine the skill sets of the individuals affected. We then seek to align those skill sets with what is required in other companies in Ireland, maybe in the relevant sector but also in others. We do this in partnership with our colleagues in Enterprise Ireland. The Government system also has facilities to help us in that regard. We stay very close and try to ensure, in times like these, that everybody is aware of the opportunities available to them.
