- Seanad: Ban on Dumping New Products Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: I welcome this Bill. It is like something the Green Party would have written 30 years ago. We are a small party in government. It is great to see other parties, including Sinn Féin, finally bringing forward improved policies, or indeed any policies, on climate or the circular economy. It is also great that this Government, for the first time ever, has a Minister of State with...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: On the overall figures, we all know the climate action plan figures and the Paris Agreement figures but it is always good to have targets outside of the 51% by 2030 one. Does Skillnet have any way of measuring the carbon reductions it is expecting or hoping for from its training? The SEAI also needs annual targets and not just targets for 2030 and 2050. Do the witnesses have any breakdown...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: I know they have actions and I understand that. My question was whether Skillnet has targets overall for the number of companies it helps to reduce their emissions. Does Skillnet have targets? I am not interested in the targets of the companies. Every company has a target to reduce its energy bills so we do not have to worry about them in terms of having targets. We have to reach the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: Surely, it is the carbon targets it needs most of all because Skillnet is going to engage with businesses forever. It is the carbon emissions it needs to focus on.

Róisín Garvey: Does Skillnet receive funding from the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications at all?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: Skillnet has not received any funding for climate related activities from the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. I think enterprise received funding from the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications before it was given to Skillnet. There seems to be some overlap. Have the various organisations met to figure out how not to waste resources, including...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: For example, civil or mechanical engineers who have worked in their areas for many years who want to become electricians, plumbers or qualify in some other registered trade have to go back to become an apprentice with the 16-year olds who left school without a junior certificate to get the recognition to be a tradesperson. We do not have enough tradespeople. Everyone here will agree and...
