Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We aim for consistency across our 31 local enterprise offices. One of the reasons we have models through our local enterprise offices in every local authority is because decarbonisation is as important in Donegal as it is in Dublin, Cork or Clare. I fully agree with what Deputy Bruton said about the success of group schemes. We need to learn from that. We as a Department are very much committed to making sure key learnings are shared in order that we are not asking companies to reinvent the wheel all the time and we are putting the information and the roadmap in front of them. For example, Diageo, which was one of the beneficiaries of the €300 million decarbonisation fund Enterprise Ireland offers, now has to share all of what it has learned and share its way forward with other companies because it is about making sure other companies can tap into that knowledge and lived experience to bring the benefits to their own companies, whether large or small. It is important everybody makes the effort to decarbonise. That is why the Government is providing so much money for companies to draw down to help them in their efforts to do so.
