The Succeed-in-Ireland initiative has been operated by Connect Ireland (CI) on the basis of a contract that was agreed with IDA Ireland on 27 March 2012. This contract was due to expire to 26 March 2016. However, in advance of that date, CI and the IDA agreed to extend the term of the contact for a maximum period of one year. The purpose of that extension was to facilitate both parties in effecting an orderly wind down of the original agreement, which is now set to conclude on 27 March 2017.
