Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

At the end of the day the people will analyse the performance of the digital hub concept on the basis of job creation in the Thomas Street and Liberties areas. Staffing will consist of many educated people with significant degrees and research experience. I understand collaborative research is taking place in conjunction with various third level colleges. That research will be meaningful and important if it leads to industrial investment in the properties acquired in the digital hub area. The intention is to emulate the types of industries found in Silicon Alley in New York. The Minister prefaced his comments with a description of what is happening in the USA on the industrial front.
