I will conclude with this point. Mr. Clancy said in his opening address that sustainability can be seen as something extraneous for businesses, but it should be part of their core business strategy. It is a bit like diversity and inclusion at the moment; it is at that level. Customers, businesses and investors are looking at sustainability as a key issue. I agree with Mr. Clancy on that. I encourage Enterprise Ireland and the LEOs to continue their work and to accelerate it even further, as my colleagues have also been encouraging them to do.
