The State Aid Section is situated in the Finance for Growth and State Aid Unit of the Indigenous Enterprise Development Division of my Department. The overall goal of the Division is to work with relevant stakeholders to ensure that appropriate supports are in place to promote and develop entrepreneurship, to help businesses to start, scale and export, and to advocate across the wider system for a supportive business environment (for example, tax policy, skills availability etc.).

The specific role of the State Aid Section is to ensure compliance of this Department’s Industrial Development schemes with EU State Aid rules and provide guidance to other Departments on how to achieve the same in relation to their schemes.
