Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

That is a very good point. We have obviously dealt with the situation referenced by Deputy Smith and we are aware of the contractors. We are looking at that ourselves and are asking how we can package up our grants. We have a menu of grants. How can we incentivise those grants in slightly different ways to ensure the people doing those works can continue in as close a fashion as possible? Some of the energy partners are moving to those deeper measures. Those are commercial decisions they are making in looking at the long-term market. At the SEAI level, we are asking how we can change things from our side of it to make it more attractive to keep implementing these measures. We have had engagement in terms of looking at the likes of heating controls and at whether we can get another package of grants to help people to understand their energy usage better and things like that. It is almost a bit like Ryanair where you pull things together and you might give a different grant if you get a certain measure but aiming at the shallower measures.

I might ask Mr. O'Mahony to comment at this point.
