IntertradeIreland (ITI) is jointly funded by my Department and its Northern Ireland counterpart the Department for the Economy (DfE). The funding provided by my Department over recent years is set out below in tabular form.
My Department has been steadily increasing its contribution to ITI in recent years to equip the body to assist SMEs prepare for and respond to the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. An additional €2.5 million was allocated to ITI in 2020, to help SMEs cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. The body also offers a range of other supports and services which promote the development of trade and business on an all-island basis.
