Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

In 2020 my Department undertook a strategic review of the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA) in order to inform policy as to its future and as to whether the DHDA continues to be required to meet a socio-economic need. I have considered the outcome of the review and will shortly bring proposals to Government on the future of the DHDA. The report of the strategic review will be published following consideration by Government.
