Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank all the witnesses for being here. I apologise for being a little late; I had a Topical Issue in the Dáil Chamber. This is very interesting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Lowe. In terms of the training and the conversations that are taking place, it strikes me that there are a number of ways to do this. Maybe there are not, however, and I am coming at this the wrong way. While one obviously has to look at the process, one also have to look at the people who are working in the companies, even in small companies. Is it part of the process to do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Perhaps it is more of a societal thing than a business thing. ...
