Brilliant. That information will be very useful, if we can get it. A debate is raging in my party now concerning carbon tax. Other people are saying we should scrap the tax altogether. My view is that it is an important measure and we must use it to work towards retrofitting homes. If people understood what it is being used for, then we could go a long way in doing that. This brings me to my next point. Sometimes the public understanding is that retrofitting homes is expensive and hassle-filled. That is not the case, however, because we are providing 100%, 80% and 50% loans. Alongside those 50% loans, as the witnesses will be aware, are low-cost loans, where the money is de-risked to enable people to get low-interest rates. What is the SEAI doing to try to promote this concept among the public more widely? I refer to letting people know that retrofitting is a hassle-free way of upgrading homes, that they will save a great deal of money on their bills if they undertake it and that this is something they should be seriously considering. Alongside the Government's endeavours, what is the SEAI doing to promote this message?
