On the €20 million, the Minister is saying that there will be a mix in terms of who can avail of the, on average, €20,000 retrofit grant. Some of the applicants might be social housing residents through local authorities but others will be people who will have to pay a level of capital upfront. We need to monitor this area to ensure that the majority of applicants are not in the latter cohort because it, I imagine, will be people who will have the deepest pockets and benefit most from having their homes retrofitted.
