Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

-----but the Deputy has raised a good point because that is the language we use. It is something we are acutely aware of when we deal with communities, especially vulnerable communities. We generally try to put our communications in plain English and have our website checked for plain English in order that when we are talking to communities, we talk in a language they use rather than the one we do. It is a well-made point.

The community energy grant programme is just a larger communities programme that links industry and communities together. As I mentioned at the outset, you are looking at significant levels of grant applications - up €74 million, with up to €25 million in grant support. That is the largest of the programmes. The SEC has a grant within that and it is effectively to fund the energy master plan. A small community can come together and get a 100% grant for their energy master plan. Separate to that, my colleague Ms Baker outlined the renewable energy support scheme. Within that we have a grant available for the schemes on their journey towards their renewables projects. Separate to that again is when they are up and running and generating electricity, there is a community benefit fund which is effectively the money going back. That is it at a very high level. We are happy to give the Deputy a one-pager with a breakdown of those offline.

I ask my colleague Ms Buggie to come in on the community energy officers. Then we might go to my colleague Mr. O'Mahony for an update on the three interesting questions on retrofit, which we are not talking about.
