Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

We have 36 contractors on that panel. We made it easier on that panel because once a procurement like that is done, the door is closed and one cannot have number 37. We have made it easier for subcontractors to come in under that scheme without the full standard procurement process.

On the individual measures programme, which is the better energy homes, contractors can just go on our website and apply. Basically speaking, once they have the appropriate qualifications to do the particular job they are applying for, they then do an on-boarding and training session with us and we put them on the panel. Then they are then put into the new box and do a kind of an on-boarding. They do a bit of a toolbox with talks and training and then we keep a close eye on them while they are starting to deliver.
