Answer
My Department has considered the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Regional Development Working Paper 2013/20 ‘The Case of Ireland – Northern Ireland – Regions and Innovation: Collaborating Across Borders'.
The recommendations in this report have been reviewed and are being taken forward by InterTradeIreland, a North South body established to foster and support cross border collaboration on innovation, trade and business development activities.
My Department, in conjunction with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation in the Republic of Ireland will seek to ensure that InterTradeIreland takes account of the findings and recommendations in the Report in its work going forward.
