The ETBs and SOLAS are well equipped to train people for retrofitting and have been doing that through their apprenticeship programmes.

The implementation group will be set up in the Taoiseach's office this month. From that the timelines for everything else are set out in the climate action plan.

Bord na Móna is well equipped to face these challenges. It wants to get on with initiatives to diversify its business. It wants to remain as part of the communities in the midlands. It is committed to doing that and with support from the Government and the regional agencies, I have no doubt we will see Bord na Móna become the model for transitioning in a just way from a brown company to a green company.
