This question probably follows on from that. It is about the level of resources that the SEAI has and the new programmes that are being put in place. There was an announcement just before the budget in respect of Solar Schools. It was thought that all schools - primary and secondary - would get free solar panels. I had assumed that these would be rolled out through the SEAI because it already rolls out the pathfinder programme for schools. Has it done any work on programme? What timeframes are we looking at? Was there money allocated in the budget for the SEAI to do that?
