Mr. Noel Cahill:

In talking about an increase from €3,000 to €8,000, we are talking about the investment. That is the average investment we would like to see. We were not proposing a grant at that level. We took account of the current policy direction which has signalled that mainstream grants for energy efficiency are to be phased out. The plan is that they would end next year and be partially replaced with a pay-as-you-save scheme. That is the type of investment we would like to see supported. Given the public finance constraints, we are not advocating a straight grant at that level.
