Those are very interesting points. Has the Irish District Heating Association done an analysis of the opportunity cost of not supporting the industry? The Government makes the decisions. It sounds like that €500 million to €1 billion investment that might be needed to get the industry going can be compared with the support that is there for retrofitting. If we do not do this, is it going to cost a hell of a lot more to install heat pumps everywhere? Is there an analysis that can help the Government to make a decision?
