Labour will subsume the current  activities and functions of Forfas, the  Innovation Taskforce, the Advisory Council for Science, Technology and Innovation and the Sustainable  Energy Authority into a newlyestablished Innovation Strategy Agency an independent agency within the IDA / Enterprise Ireland structure, whose role will be to stimulate  technology-enabled innovation in the areas which offer the greatest scope for boosting growth and productivity. Labour’s Innovation Strategy Agency will promote and support investment in technology research, development and commercialisation beyond the basic research supported by Science Foundation Ireland, as well as advising government on how to remove barriers to innovation and accelerate  the exploitation of new technologies. The majority of the members of the board of the ISA will be drawn  from industry and finance from both Ireland and abroad with  experience of technology change and innovation.
