My final question is on the renewable energy sector and may be answered by any of the witnesses. Renewable energy generation is new to us and so we do not have the necessary skill sets or apprenticeships to deal with it. Is the industry prepared to run apprenticeship schemes, as was done in the past by the sugar companies and Bord na Móna?
