Mr. Mark Griffin:

I will ask Mr. Deegan to deal with the figures in a moment. During the course of 2021, which was a difficult year, we delivered approximately 15,500 units. We will deliver between 26,000 and 27,000 units during the course of 2022. The target for 2023 is 37,000 units. One is seeing a very significant increase. Bear in mind that the depth of the interventions that have been made over the past number of years have increased significantly. We are moving far more from shallow retrofit to deeper retrofit.

I take the view that one is at risk of compromising value for money where one forces or seeks to force delivery at a point in time when one knows it will not represent value for money. We have seen, with regard to the retrofit programme, the ingredients of having a programme that will deliver much more with value for money, has been much improved in the latter half of 2021. We have the national development plan, NDP. We have the national retrofit plan which sets out how we will do our business. New scheme conditions were announced at the start of this year and we have the report of the expert group on future skills needs. All of that will play a very significant part in ensuring that, first, we can deliver and, second, we can deliver with a value-for-money focus.
