Mr. Declan Hughes:

We can certainly give the Deputy that information. I should say, however, that a range of work has previously been done on the green economy. The expert group has examined the matter and a number of reports over the years have continually quantified the sectors and jobs at risk. The agencies and others have stepped in to ensure that the investment will be made to support the jobs and help the sectors with the transition.

There are always jobs at risk. The food and drink industry, for example, is under continuous pressure in respect of sustainability credentials and so on, and it is now making those investments. In the dairy processing sector, €800 million was invested last year to protect and grow jobs. Much of that investment is to enhance energy efficiency and productivity. We continually focus on such jobs, and in the context of full employment, that has to be the main focus. Between 5% and 10% of jobs will probably always be at risk. It can be seen in the case of our enterprise agencies. There is a continual churn and we continually work with affected sectors-----
