Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I turn to the structures by which the digital hub is actually run. The Government decided in 2000 to establish a new body, Digital Media Development Limited, on an interim basis pending the enactment of legislation, under the aegis of the Department of the Taoiseach, to oversee the development of the digital hub. Following this, in June 2000, the board of DMDL was appointed by the Taoiseach, consisting of members from the relevant State agencies and the private sector. It is the responsibility of this board to formulate and implement strategies for the actual development of the digital hub. To this end, a development strategy for the digital hub was published by DMDL in December last year. Day-to-day operations are carried out by an executive services team appointed by the board in November 2000.
