Dr. Aoife O'Grady:

The existing schemes remain in place. We will relaunch them later this year with additional funding supports. We are ready to work with any local authority that has a concept of what it wants to do. We propose that local authorities which are stepping into this space should work with us. We are offering supports for them to develop their own strategies. While they are doing that, they could also develop pilots. We do not want to hold back on providing infrastructure. If people have a good idea and are ready to roll it out, we are happy to work with them and support them.
