Invest NI is committed to achieving a successful economy in Northern Ireland which will provide equal opportunities for all. We are mindful of its responsibilities across the spectrum of Section 75, Equality and the Lifetime Opportunities Strategy. We are therefore pleased to invite you to comment on our policy and programme screenings that we do not feel require an EQIA.
