Public Accounts Committee

2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Leo Clancy:

I might turn to Dr. Gibbons in a moment to give an update on Bord na Móna and what we have done in that regard. I will first finish my reply to your question, though, Chairman. We are very focused on greening the companies we have. We are focused not only on new companies in sustainability but also on making sure that our companies decarbonise. Enterprise Ireland has a target in respect of the enterprise sector of reducing emissions by 35% by 2030. We have numerous supports which we can come back to and talk about, if the committee would like, but, in the interest of time, I will hand over to Dr. Gibbons to talk a little about Bord na Móna and our relationship with it.
