I will come back to attic insulation spending, the hub controller and pick up on the point that the SEAI does not collect data in respect of tenants. I know that in the spending review of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in 2020 and the social impact assessment, the Department flagged the fact that we are not collecting those types of data so we do not know whether we are reducing energy poverty as well as reducing our emissions. Are there any plans to collect those kinds of data around the demographics of households? Has that been happening since that Department report can out? Is SEAI doing that at all? I know our guests said it was not collecting those data in respect of tenants. Are any data being collected about households?
