Mr. Kieran Donoghue:

We support companies in two ways. As already stated, we have an environmental aid programme. This means that there is a suite of financial incentives we can deploy and utilise with out clients. Separately, and consistent with Government policy that dates back to 2010, we sponsored the establishment of the International Energy Research Centre at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork. One of our clients, United Technologies, also brought in an energy research centre. Deputy Eamon Ryan would have been a major advocate for that centre at the time. The initiative has proved very positive and sends a signal to our clients about the importance that we attach to the environment. The initiative also enables companies to carry out environment-related research in this jurisdiction.
