Mr. Brian Carroll:

On retrofitting, several things are going on in parallel. A task force is in place to design the new aggregated retrofitting model.

On the just transition, €20 million has been ring-fenced and targeted at the midlands. There is another €6 million in the just transition fund for the retraining and reskilling of workers. A key objective of the just transition aspect of the climate action plan, as well as the plan more widely, is to identify and exploit opportunities, such as through the ambition to retrofit half a million houses by 2030. The pieces are in place to achieve the type of goal the Deputy is talking about.
