There was quite a substantial increase in the SEAI's budget. The authority needs the ability to deliver on that. We want to see the money spent and spent well. Of equal concern to this committee is underspend, particularly in critical areas like this. Is the SEAI the only body that is grant aiding? Are allocations to local authorities regarded as a separate plan or do they come under the SEAI's remit? Is there a supervisory aspect regarding local authority stock?
