Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan mentioned the importance of the carbon tax. Some 55% of the money from that tax is ring-fenced to go to meeting the costs of the retrofitting scheme. Mr. Walsh mentioned this aspect earlier. Will he give a breakdown of the amount of carbon tax that is ring-fenced for the SEAI for this year and what that money is going to be used for? Mention was made as well of how many homes are going to be examined and the schemes involved. I would appreciate a brief breakdown of what the revenue from the carbon tax is going to be used for this year.
