Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion

Mr. Paul Healy:

I thank the Deputy for his questions. On the broader question of impact, the size of the enterprise base and how we can reach and support so many companies, we saw a lot of growth when the Deputy, as Minister for Education and Skills, gave us great support for our budget. Over a seven-year period, our combined budget grew from €22 million to €70 million. However, we still have a long way to go in engaging with companies, particularly in the domestic sector.
