It is a massive area and we have targets to hit for 2030 and 2050. I acknowledge the good work that Skillnet is doing. I see it my own county of Tipperary and in Clonmel in particular, and in the agricultural sector. We have targets to hit and informing and educating companies is really important in the long run. I am sure that Skillnet does not have enough staff to meet every single company to get targets to be hit by 2030. That is pretty much impossible. For those 250 companies, what is being done to make sure they hit they hit the required targets? What percentage of those companies has Skillnet engaged with and what has been the success rate? What has been the feedback from them? What is Mr. Meally's sense from those 250 companies in terms of delivering targets that would be effective nationally?
