186. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if any elements of a company’s (details supplied) business has a client relationship with Enterprise Ireland; if training grants have been secured by the company from the agency in each of the years 2018 to date in 2022 inclusive; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAlthough the company concerned is not an Enterprise Ireland (EI) client company, my Department officials confirmed there have been a number of interactions with EI over the last ten years. As a manufacturer of hydraulic solenoids for world markets this company has interacted with EI’s Global Sourcing team on at least two occasions. The Global Sourcing initiative provides multinationals with direct access to potential local suppliers and is an important platform for raising awareness of the capabilities of innovative Irish SMEs across a range of sectors.
In 2019, the company attended one of Enterprise Ireland’s Brexit Advisory Clinics. As a result of this engagement on Brexit, the company agreed to undertake the available online customs training.
Training grants have not been secured by this company, from Enterprise Ireland, between the years 2018 and 2022 inclusive.
