Dr. Carol Gibbons:

On lean for micro and green for micro, there are just over 400 companies on each scheme. In terms of the 2022 targets on the micro side - and we will verify these figures for the Deputy - it is tracking well in the ambition to get to 2022 and to have over 2,200 green and 2,000 lean interventions made in the micro industry.

If I may address the wider supports, the Deputy mentioned industry. LEOs falls into two categories. Over 5,000 companies have gone on the LEO start your own business programme, with over 390 programmes put in place in 2021. That is a fantastic achievement on the LEO side that is encouraging entrepreneurs that are coming through their doors.

On the 31 LEOs, at this point we have not looked at any other locations. One thing I would like to say is there is great collaboration between the LEOs and their locations and Enterprise Ireland's regional offices. That joint work is incredibly important for us and for enterprise in the regions.
