Quarter 1 actions in item 7.2.1 of the Action Plan for Jobs have been delivered on schedule.

My colleague the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and I have appointed the former Head of Life Sciences in the IDA as chairman of the Project Team to deliver on the Demonstrator Project. The Project Team has already met including representatives of EI, SFI, the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and my own Department. A representative of the HSE will also join the Project Team. The Project Team will report to an Oversight Board chaired jointly by both Departments so as to ensure continuity of the project beyond the demonstrator phase. The Demonstrator Project is due to be established before the end of June this year.
