ICT Ireland, the body which represents the information technology and telecommunications industries in the Republic of Ireland, has called for the re-elected coalition government to appoint an e-business minister as soon as possible.
'Following last week's announcement, it still remains unclear if any particular Minister in the new cabinet will have specific responsibility for e-business and the strategic development of the IT sector,' Director of ICT Ireland, Brendan Butler explained to the Irish Independent.
Mr Butler told the newspaper that specific tasks which warrant the attention of a designated minister include the implementation of the National Broadband Investment Initiative in 123 towns throughout the Republic, and the co-ordination of e-procurement.
He added that if the Irish government is serious about continuing to develop the jurisdiction's potential as an e-commerce hub, the minister will also need to act as an adviser on broadcasting and telecommunications policy.
