Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Breda O'Sullivan:

I would like to add two parts to that. Again, we are looking forward because we do not have the enabling powers on this yet. Something like a site-specific climate action plan for the company could be one of the outputs it needs to get from this consultancy. There could be a site-specific digital action plan for the company. Outputs like that are what we would be looking for from the consultancy.

On the internal advice piece, as part of this strategy we have set up a transformation team in the IDA which looks at things like sustainability, training and digital upskilling. Their expertise goes to a certain level. Specific areas are looked at where something additional is needed by the company. Many companies are able to do this themselves. This is designed for companies that cannot do so and need additional help.
