At the launch of the Report of the Green Enterprise Group last December, I noted the announcements, over the year, of 15,400 jobs to be created across sectors of the green economy. In general, the employment to be created by these announcements, including those from investment by the commercial Energy State Companies and grant assistance by Sustainable Energy Ireland, will be in the private sector. The full list of job creation announcements is available on the press release section of my Department's website and is dated 2nd December 2009. (http://www.dcenr.gov.ie/Press+Releases/2009/)
