I want to raise first the retrofitting scheme, which has a budget of €8 billion. I am sure taxpayers, along with ourselves on the committee, and the Department would be eager to ensure value for money when it comes to the scheme. The national development plan had allocated €202 million for 2022, but as of August of this year no deep retrofits had been completed. Has the Department raised concerns with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications about the scheme? Some €40 million, or almost 20% of the total fund, was reallocated from the scheme to other purposes this year. Would Mr. Moloney consider it a red flag that the scheme is not working or is not being implemented as expected?
