Mr. Donal Leahy:

I thank the Chair for his comments. His suggestion that Enterprise Ireland needs to give some thought to delivering the programme. I will make sure that the entire senior leadership team within Enterprise Ireland takes his comments on board.

In respect of section 38 organisations, there are two routes that are best for moving the initiative forward. The senior leadership team will communicate that to them so they know. On top of that, we are approaching the end of our strategy period so colleagues are looking at the strategy from 2025 on and I will encourage them to make that. Diversity and equality are part of our existing strategy but we must make sure that, in addition to having those aspirations in the new strategy, it has some specific deliverables.
