Dr. Ciaran Byrne:
The figure we had was about 4,500 at the start of 2021. We estimate we need about 17,000. Our colleagues in SOLAS have done the green skill report on the workers needed with green skills. On that basis the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science identified six strategic education and training boards, ETBs, to bring on the courses needed to be able to do the work.
