Cleantech framework could create 80,000 jobs

Up to 80,000 jobs could be created and the country’s GDP boosted by €3.9bn if the Government creates a policy framework that enables more cleantech industries to be developed, according to a report.

Report authors Ernst and Young are calling for a national cleantech framework and implementation plan which will attract investment in the sector.

Globally, cleantech is worth €5trn as governments and companies try and improve their energy security and efficiency.
