It is a consideration that I am aware affects Deputy O’Callaghan's constituency and south Dublin in particular, which are not constituencies I should be talking about, but there we are.

I have a specific question for Mr. Dolan on the Government commitment to roll out solar rooftops on schools. This is a very welcome and visual commitment to climate action and the schools will tend to produce the most energy during the time when the children are not in school. It does not make it a bad idea, it still is a very good one, but it creates challenges in how we roll it out to schools and in how we manage that as a resource. We begin to worry then about issues like the feed-in tariffs. Has that been looked at in some detail by the Department? Where are we with that and when can we can be expect to see those solar panels being rolled out onto rooftops?
