In advancing the project the agency is obliged to consult Enterprise Ireland, the IDA and other relevant bodies. As part of its statutory remit, the agency is required to prepare, cost, manage and oversee a development plan for the hub. Consultation with the local community is part of the preparation of the development strategy. The legislation describes the critical elements of the development plan, including strategies for property purchase for suitable accommodation for digital content enterprise, management and disposal of property and educational provision, especially in the field of digital arts and technology.
