Mr Robert Troy, T.D., is the Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation and will chair the Inter-Departmental Committee on the Digital Single Market.
The key focus of the Inter-Departmental Committee is on ensuring effective whole-of-Government engagement with the Digital Single Market agenda, particularly in terms of developing a coherent and coordinated approach to matters that cut across the responsibilities of individual Ministers, Departments and European Council formations. Relevant Ministers and Departments will continue to lead on the key files in their respective areas of responsibility. However, there is also acknowledgement that many of the files have cross-cutting implications.
The Inter-Departmental Committee on the Digital Single Market includes representatives from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI); Department of the Taoiseach; Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment; Department of Justice and Equality; Department of Finance; Department of Public Expenditure and Reform; Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade; Department of Education and Skills; Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine; and Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
