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: I welcome our guests and thank them for their contributions. I will start with the representatives from Skillnet. Where does decarbonisation, climate and sustainability come in its engagement with businesses, specifically SMEs? Are people coming to Skillnet looking for this information or is it chasing them with it? I am struck by the figure in the SEAI submission that 80% was produced by...

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? Or is it happening at a pace...

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: That is good. I would tend to agree that the appetite is there. It is sometimes a case of letting people know that they need not be as worried as they might be and there is a bit of help there. In that vein, can I ask about the supports that are in place? I refer to the preliminary supports, such as the climate action voucher. Are they working as a funnel to get businesses in, nearly as a...

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: That is good to know. I thank Mr. Stockil. I have a question on decarbonising the building stock businesses have as part of their physical infrastructure. The public service targets for 2030 are for a 51% reduction, for a 50% improvement in energy efficiency and for 100% of public sector buildings to have a building energy rating, BER, rating of B or higher. The commercial sector targets...

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: Does Mr. Meally believe that the voucher works as a hook to get businesses interested?

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: Specifically in terms of the public service targets for 2030, are we substantially on track to meet those?

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: On the target for a BER of B or higher for 100% of public sector buildings, I am thinking of some of the public sector buildings I know of, some of which will be much more challenging than others. Will that be achievable by 2030?

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: Is the SEAI keeping a tot of those buildings that have so far achieved a B rating? I am conscious that it is nearly 2024 and the target is for 100% by 2030. I understand that the targets are the targets and the ambition is the ambition. I just wonder if those targets will actually be hit.

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: Is Mr. Meally then saying that the stage the public services are now at is collating the rating of the buildings at the moment?

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Meally.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Employment Rights (7 Nov 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Joe O'Brien, for being here this evening. A fortnight ago, the Supreme Court published its long-awaited decision on defining employment status. The court ruled that delivery drivers for Domino's Pizza should be treated as employees and not as contractors. The Supreme Court ruling has massive implications in the battle against bogus self-employment....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Employment Rights (7 Nov 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: With the greatest of respect, if the Code of Practice on Determining Employment Status was doing all that the Minister of State thinks it might be doing, I genuinely would not be here now. I would have a fighting chance of catching my train, which, I think, I will miss, and I would be gone home. That is not sufficient. Clearly, pursuing the matter for 13 years in the courts shows that it...
