Ms Marion O'Brien:
As with lots of things, there is a process. There is a distinction between the two schemes. In the warmer homes scheme, where we currently have 36 contractors and had 29 last year, they have been procured and we work with them. They are not removed from the scheme but we have a significant enough financial penalty that applies until the contractor gets the works to the standards we need. That works because we get 100% compliance there.
