Many jobs are at risk. Approximately 1,000 are at risk at Bord na Móna, and while we know about them, there are many more. Mr. Hughes might send us a note on what work is being done to estimate the scale of the challenge. Once we understand the scale of the challenge, we can hold to account the Department and others in respect of the responses put in place. We will need a bit more than what we have heard today from Mr. Hughes on the scale of the challenge. We will need hard facts, for both the public and private sectors, on what jobs are at risk and the level of transition that will need to happen.
