The Minister of State is saying there will be €23 million from the one-stop-shop and the community energy scheme. The Minister of State has said there is strong demand and that the Department is confident the work will be commenced by the end of the year but it might not be paid. Will the Minister of State give us the figures on what the target was, what will be commenced and what will be completed by the end of the year? I want to flag the point of the additional €150 million. It comes back to the Exchequer and that is fair enough but there is further underspend. My concern is that we will be here in two or three months' time and we will be taking from the warmer homes scheme or another area of real need.

Does the Minister of State have figures for the projects in the one-stop-shop that were targeted to be completed and those that will be started but not completed by the end of the year and the same for the community energy scheme?
