I wish Mr. Carroll well in all of the work he does. We all want to make sure that we reach our targets and we are all focused on making sure that climate action means action and that we reach the targets we set. We have to be honest, however, and say that up to now we have not and in many areas we are lagging behind. Mr. Carroll talked about retrofit. The Taoiseach is at an international conference today and he spoke about a €50 billion retrofit. That is how much it will cost to retrofit every home in the country. Is it possible to retrofit every home in the country?
