OK.

And talk to me about that community involvement.

What does it look like?

Are they doing that because it's the ethical thing to do or they're finding there's business benefit from that involvement?

Now, on the net zero, I see that 37% or about almost 40% have companies have net zero goals, but only about a quarter of them are confident that they're actually going to meet them.

Why is there a gap?

Okay.

De Rarca Dennis, EY Ireland partner and Sustainability Services Lead.

Thanks for joining us this morning.

Welcome back to Breakfast Business with me, Tom McEnany, standing in for Joe Lynham.

Now, PwC has just released its latest Irish Family Business Survey.

This one's for 2025.

With me to discuss the results of the survey is Mairead Harbrun, who's Private Client Partner at PwC.

Good morning, Mairead.

Good morning, Tom.

Now, one of the things you found, one of the most interesting things in the survey, I thought, was that Irish businesses, Irish family businesses are more growth orientated than their international peers.

Yeah, there seems to be a common thread in both what AIB has been saying this morning and what you're saying now, which is that, well, we all thought, or there were a lot of people, sorry, I didn't think so, there were a lot of people suggesting the sky was going to fall in on Irish businesses.

And the sky is pretty much where it was before July and the US tariff, the new US tariff policy came in.

No surprise there that Irish businesses would be struggling to find skilled labour.

Any other results from the survey?
