Home > Irish Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment

 
The Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment is one of the most important economic ministeries in the Irish Cabinet. The Department is headed by the Minister who is reponsible for the implementation of Government policy under five key areas - Enterprise, Innovation, Growth; Quality Work and Learning; Making Markets and Regulation work better; Quality, Value and Continuous Improvement; and the European Union. A large element of the work of the Department arises from Ireland's membership of a number of international organisations, in particular the European Union and the World Trade Organisation. The Department plays an active role in the development of EU and WTO policies, particularly to ensure that Ireland's interests are protected. The Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment is organised into seven divisions. They are:
