Dr. Ciaran Byrne:
For clarity, what we do is we have QS in our grant schemes. In February 2022, we significantly increased the value of the grant schemes in line with market rates. In the last two weeks, the Minister, Deputy Ryan, signed in the instruments for the low-cost loan scheme, which will be rolled out in quarter 1 of 2024. Our analysis has shown that this low-cost loan scheme will be transformative in terms of people engaging with retrofit.
