What Mr. Walsh said is correct in that this is the largest infrastructure programme in the State and is probably the most important. We cannot afford to have any slippage as we have such a short timeframe now of less than eight years. To ensure that we are keeping on track and that there is not any slippage, it is going to be very important for that ramping up graph to be publicly available to show these targets. The documents refer to an average of 45,000 homes, but we cannot be looking at averages and we need to know now how many B2-rated homes, and not the other BER levels, that the SEAI will hit.

Next year, the SEAI hopes that there are more and then it will keep building up until it makes sure that it is achieved by 2030. That will be key. I would appreciate if Mr. Walsh could provide that graph.
