Mr. Derek Moran:

It involves trying to do the analysis with the ESRI around the projections regarding the impact on the economy of doing these type of things. I think the Chair of the Climate Change Advisory Committee, Professor John Fitzgerald, often refers to the point that to retrofit all the existing stock of houses will cost €50 billion. We must find the means by which we can do that over the next 20 to 30 years. That will require a lot of private money but also public support. As I understand it, over the next number of weeks, the Government is due to publish its strategy around the actions in the plans. I hope that many of the answers to the questions posed by Deputy Connolly will be in that.
