I understand we want to get the deep retrofit but we are where we are, to use that awful phrase. People are really struggling to pay their bills. If there is a system that can reduce people's bills by 36% and it costs €300 or €400, and if we want to shift the energy efficiency obligation scheme away from that, are there short-term measures where we can ensure these households get these types of short-term measures which could make a very significant difference to their bills?
