I know they have actions and I understand that. My question was whether Skillnet has targets overall for the number of companies it helps to reduce their emissions. Does Skillnet have targets? I am not interested in the targets of the companies. Every company has a target to reduce its energy bills so we do not have to worry about them in terms of having targets. We have to reach the overall 51% target. What have Skillnet and the SEAI done in setting targets for themselves? The green for micro scheme in County Clare, for example, is being run by the LEO but it is separate and distinct from a workshop that is being run through the SEAI and Enterprise Ireland on auditing and all of that.

We have 4,000 SMEs in County Clare, five of which did the energy audit, which is linked to a grant. The target for the year was 17. I really worry that if we as statespeople and State agencies do not have really clear targets, it is going to be hard to make sure we engage with businesses and for them to take up the mantle. If we do not help them and get them engaged, we will not reach the targets. That is why am asking whether Skillnet has targets for itself. I know businesses have targets. They always want to reduce their bills. I am not worried about them having targets. Has Skillnet broken it down? Has it got annual targets?
