Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal

My question relates to the number of Irish businesses using big data. I want to ask the Minister of State about the digital intensity of Irish businesses, specifically SMEs. While I appreciate some businesses cannot be any more digitally intensified, there is scope there. We know digitisation is one of the twin challenges facing our economy now and into the future. I ask for an update on the number of businesses using big data and engaging with the cloud and artificial intelligence, and how this compares with the targets set in the harnessing digital 2030 document.
