Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2022
94. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will report on the progress or otherwise in the implementation of his Department’s ICT Strategy 2020-2025; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [60495/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s current ICT Strategy was finalised and published in November 2020, with a vision for the Department “to be a leader among its peers through the consistent delivery of innovative digital and data solutions and services”. The strategy contains 59 actions in total, spread across a number of high-level objectives. Good progress has been made during the first two years of the strategy. Of 59 actions in the strategy, 9 are completed, 5 partially complete, 19 commenced, 21 ongoing, 3 not started and 1 currently stalled (but options to address this are being explored).
The strategy is not intended to be a static document, but is intended to be reviewed over the course of its life to ensure that it remains relevant to the changing needs of my Department. As the strategy has reached its mid-way point my Department has begun a process to review progress on the strategy and its implementation. This review will provide an opportunity to ensure that the strategy goals remain relevant. This review process may give rise to new areas of action, or identify some actions which are no longer as relevant.
