Commissioner Kieran Mulvey is making the comments.
Covid-19 mustn't become an excuse to delay the Just Transition for the midlands.
That's according to Kieran Mulvey, the commissioner overseeing the process.
He's published a number of recommendations on how the region can adapt to a green energy future, after the closure of peat-production plants.
He wants to spend 11 million euro on projects this year, in order to get the ball running and so that he seek more funding in next year's Budget.
Commissioner Kieran Mulvey says there's no doubt that priority must be given to this project:
