Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

To clarify, that particular programme was a pilot programme; an experiment. The point of it, as the Minister knows well because he kicked the ball into touch, was to prove the health benefits in the Irish context. There is a lot of international literature that relates to what happens in New Zealand, London, here, there or wherever, but we had to demonstrate that in the Irish context. The warmth and well-being programme was to do that, and it did. The actual scheme itself was closed but the learnings from it will be brought into the main warmer homes programme.
