Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion

Mr. Leo Clancy:

I will not stray into policy. The Government has set out a climate action plan and strategy so I do not want to comment on policy. We would welcome a discussion about how we might do anything possible to further sustainability efforts and climate action. We would be very welcoming of the conversation if the committee made that recommendation. We would be happy to participate. It is a matter, in the end, for policy because it spans more organisations than ours and more Departments than our parent Department. We are happy and open to engaging with anyone who has ideas about how we can accelerate, as members have said.
