Chapter Summary

We will build on our reputation as a digital leader through a digital regulatory framework that supports innovation through agile regulation and protects consumers. We are committed to Ireland's important role in enforcing digital regulation and to strengthening Ireland's position as an EU Centre of Excellence and digital regulatory hub. We will continue to be a strong advocate at EU-level for a balanced, proportionate and coherent approach to digital regulation, which supports competitiveness, innovation and the protection of fundamental rights.

  • We will reinforce Ireland's position as a trusted, agile, forwardlooking digital regulatory hub for companies operating across the EU Digital Single Market.
  • We are committed to ensuring a modern, cohesive and wellresourced regulatory framework that is responsive to the evolving digital age, and we are focused on delivering a predictable, efficient and streamlined regulatory environment.
  • Given the cross-cutting nature of digital regulation, we will strengthen collaboration and coordination across Government and regulators to create a coherent and effective digital policy and regulatory landscape.
