Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Skillnet is obviously keeping an eye on that. It is enterprise led and to a certain extent, it has to wait for people to come to it. Is there a sense that there is a gap there? I am thinking about a bridge between getting the companies to come to Skillnet for this specifically rather than the other work with which they would be more familiar with Skillnet?
