Written answers

Attached in tabular format is the information requested by the Deputy in relation to the Southern-nominated members of InterTradeIreland’s Board.

By way of background, InterTradeIreland (ITI) is co-funded by my Department and the Northern Ireland Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment. It has twelve Board members, including Chairperson and Vice Chair, six of whom are nominated by my Department and six by the Northern Ireland authorities i.e. the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment. The Board is actually appointed by the North South Ministerial Council. The term of appointment to ITI’s Board is four years. The current Board was appointed on 13 December 2011.

I am very committed to the work of this cross-border body who, despite the very challenging financial climate we have faced for the last few years, have tailored their suite of programmes to reflect the needs of business and offer an innovative range of programmes to businesses on both sides of the border which are very successful.
