One of the groups I am interested in is small enterprises and how they are taking up opportunities. There was recent publicity about the fact not having a fridge door on your fridge means you could halve your energy use by simply retrofitting a door to it. Is that sort of initiative by a small business open to support? I am aware of the EXEED scheme and so on but they sound like much bigger types of scheme. Is there support for such a retrofitting activity or can small enterprises get accelerated capital allowances?

When the loan scheme comes, and I appreciate it is not quite there yet, is the SEAI planning to confine that just to the one-stop shop people who do the big lot together? Alternatively, and to take Mr. O'Mahony's point, is the authority going to get the loans to the smaller people who do a few measures and might otherwise struggle with the funding of the 50% that falls to them?
