We would like people to have the chance to carry out a series of steps and not be prevented from doing step 2 because they have done step 1 already. I think that will form part of the national retrofit plan today. That will depend on the decision taken by the Government today.

The right thing to do is to say to people that although they did an upgrade, they are still eligible to do the second stage.

To go back to the Deputy’s other questions, he asked me about the SEAI target for 2022. The number we have been discussing is the SEAI target for 2022 and that is the number that is likely to change as a result of the Government decision today on the number of homes.
