I will raise two points. I am surprised that SEAI has moved premises, resulting in an increase in its energy consumption of 76%. Will the witnesses give me an explanation? I would like to see what is behind it.

The SEAI's budget has increased threefold, from €145 million to €446 million. It has more than doubled the number of employees. What oversight is in place? What steps has SEAI taken to ensure new staff are trained to the degree necessary to ensure internal controls are maintained to a high standard, particularly in relation to the increase in budget?
