442. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he is aware that Govtech boards in some states, for example Singapore, have a role in developing 'whole of government' technologies, and employ substantial technical resources to this end; and if this is perceived as part of the terms of reference of the Irish Govtech Delivery Board.

View answerWhile the main priorities for GovTech were set out in the 2019 Cruinniú GovTech Report, it is the intention that the Enterprise Digital Advisory Forum, established on foot of the national AI strategy by the previous Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, will act in an advisory capacity in relation to GovTech in addition to its existing work. This will include the continuing implementation of enterprise elements of the National Digital Strategy Harnessing Digital - The Digital Ireland Framework and the GovTech elements of Connecting Government 2030: A Digital and ICT Strategy for Ireland’s Public Service, both of which were published in 2022.
