On the 29 June I, along with Ministers Halligan and Breen, launched Project 2040: Investing in Business, Enterprise and Innovation 2018-2027. This report outlines the role of my Department in delivering Project Ireland 2040.

One of the ten strategic outcomes of Project Ireland 2040 is the development of a strong economy, supported by enterprise, innovation and skills. A large part of the work of my Department is relevant to the achievement of this goal including, for example, supporting small and medium enterprises; facilitating entrepreneurship; investing in research, development and innovation; attracting foreign direct investment and investing in regional growth potential.

I meet with officials of my Department on all of these issues on an ongoing basis.
