In regard to the carbon reduction return in terms of retrofits, I just looked at the chapter on it and Figure 8.9 on the targeted reduction in the residential built environment sector and contributions made by SEAI residential community retrofit schemes, 2019 to 2030. From the figures in that it would appear that the target emission reductions for the residential built environment, as can be seen on the graph, is at 3 million tonnes. If you look at where you want to get, it is potentially a fraction of that; it is well below 1 million. Would Dr. Byrne disagree with that assessment?
