Maximising the potential of the creative Industries in Northern Ireland (Policy Paper No. 7)

Background explanation to its research significance:

The policy paper was written to assist the Northern Ireland Assembly's Committee for Culture, Arts and Leisure in the above inquiry which began in September 2011. Six working papers were researched to feed into the document as it had to comply with the committee's format, questions raised and word length. Summary data for three of them are in the appendices while some information from the others was given to the committee at two oral hearings to which the author was invited. Links to the Hansard transcripts of these sessions are given below.

This policy paper focused on the creative media sector while others in the University looked at art and design, architecture, innovation policy and performing arts.

The committee's final report in February 2013, see link below, quoted seveeral parts of the policy paper including its growth projections and recommendations on skills development and the more central role in policy development and encouraging collaboration which the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure could play. It also contains, in Volume 2 pages 828-834, a copy of the policy paper.
