Mr. Scannell said in his opening statement:

... the board of IDA considered [at its meeting] the future of Succeed-in-Ireland and whether a new tender should be issued in 2017 for its continuation. The board made the decision, however, not to retender ...

He also indicated that the board ultimately made a decision not to proceed. Can Mr. Scannell outline what IDA Ireland told the Department in terms of its reasons for not wanting to retender and not wanting to continue with the programme? What did it say to the Department?
