I think the data centre questions have been well covered. I mentioned the Just Transition Commission. What work is happening with the Department of enterprise in terms of enterprise grants and enterprise structures to engage with the Just Transition Commission as it identifies new or existing sectors that will be key to just transition? Will there be a linking up between the many enterprise grants and supports that are in place?

Has there been a review of new areas of employment that might be needed, including new areas of public employment? I am looking specifically at what we heard today from the SEAI and others, namely, that there may be a case for a public body for retrofitting. This was not put forward by me. I do not want to misrepresent the SEAI but it spoke of how there are decades of work within the public sector. Are there new areas of public employment that might be part of just transition or part of our wider work in terms of climate and is the Minister looking to those?
