To follow-up on Deputy Bruton's point, we were mentioning how it makes more sense for communities to come together to try to get a retrofit done, whether that is a street, an estate or a cul-de-sac. Where that is not happening, and Mr. Walsh touched on this, not because there is not community buy-in but because there are strangers living on the street, there is no residents' association and there is no group, what happens then? If I am at No. 1, do these guys come along and physically knock on the doors of Nos. 2, 3 and 4 stating they are doing this work down the road and it would be beneficial and cost-effective for them to do it? How does the SEAI do that outreach where there is no community group coming together to say it wants to retrofit ten of these houses all at once?
