If we increased the grant from €3,000 to €8,000, which the report states, we could possibly do that. The plastic bag levy was effective for environmental reasons and in terms of how that money was spent. If we took part of the carbon tax and targeted it towards retrofitting, increasing the insulation of homes would reduce our carbon footprint effectively.
