Particularly as we incentivise actions in terms of climate change, I was talking to the Irish Hotels Federation today and they were talking about the restrictions that are put on the sizes. I was struck by the cap on the number of employees for certain businesses. The more emissions you have, the more you want to reduce them by. They should be included in incentives as well. It should not just be treated as though they were dead weight and cannot be eligible. It is something for us all to consider in terms of the end outcome we want to achieve. It is worth making an investment there in terms of climate change and what we need to do.
