Mr. Mark Griffin:
Approval was given in November 2021 to transfer €160 million from the Vote to the EENF. That was to be used for two things: first, to fund retrofit works in 2022, particularly to support those in energy poverty through the warmer homes scheme; and second, €60 million to fund the loan guarantee scheme to provide low-cost loans to local authorities.
