Ms Josephine Feehily:

My colleagues will try to find the figure which was set out in the budget arithmetic. We have no concrete line of sight in regard to the level of interest in the scheme, for example, in terms of claims under the scheme. The position is that we are building an IT system to manage the scheme, but it will not be available until April. Therefore, until the contractors begin to load claims onto the system, we will not have a numerical line of sight in regard to the interest shown in it. However, I can tell the Deputy that there has been huge interest among the trade and householders in learning about the scheme. We have already produced a booklet which we are circulating widely and which sets out how people can engage with the scheme before we set up the IT system in April.
