HANAFIN PUBLISHES 1ST PROGRESS REPORT ON NEW CONNECTIONS
The Minister for the Information Society, Mary Hanafin T.D. has published the first progress report on New Connections, the Government’s Action Plan for developing an Information Society. The report outlines progress on all seven policy strands of New Connections: Telecommunication Infrastructure, Legal & Regulatory Environment, eGovernment, eBusiness; R&D, Lifelong Learning and eInclusion. “While much progress is evidenced in this report, it also identifies certain initiatives which have experienced delays. While some of these are as a result of changes in the make-up of particular Departments, there are evidently other areas requiring a more concerted effort. Today’s publication sends out a clear signal to all of us responsible for its implementation, to focus on minimising delays, and ensure the continued delivery of our Action Plan,” Minister Hanafin said. The next report is scheduled for delivery within the next few months. http://www.taoiseach.gov.ie/viewitem.asp?id=2124&lang=ENG
