I thank the witnesses for coming in. I will continue on the same theme. On the barriers to retrofitting, it strikes me the default position seems to be demolition and rebuild rather than retrofitting or refitting. Will both organisations touch on some of the barriers as they see them?

The next issue is for CIF. I see many recently-developed housing estates. I am in County Meath and there is a requirement for a minimum amount of green space. When I grew up the green space was a flat green space where you could play a game of football. What we have in our new housing developments are drumlins with little lanes running through them where you could not put a football or set of goalposts down. I am told that is because builders want to get rid of their waste soil. They are building these little drumlins where children cannot play. Is that the case and will this change in policy improve that situation?
