Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion

Mr. Paul Healy:

In the first instance, we are supporting businesses with the climate change agenda and skills for climate change, but also with the digital agenda. We are also helping develop small business owners. We work with the foreign direct investment, FDI, sector. Like every agency, we have a resource and we have to stretch it.

To give an indication of the companies that we support, 16% are in the dedicated green space that I talked about in terms of decarbonisation and related aspects. We are prioritising that area but we recognise that we need to encourage more firms to engage with us. We need to encourage more industry groups to engage with us and to avail of the calibre and quality of these programmes that have been developed. Could Deputy Stanton please remind me of the second part of his question?
