As the Deputy will know, there is a budget heading to the order of €650 million in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment Vote for 2023 in respect of TBESS. There is therefore adequate capacity within the budget. The issue is getting a scheme up and running, rather than a financial constraint. It is about getting a scheme designed and operationalised. The Government and I want to see that happen as quickly as possible. The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment is determined to do the same.
