Mr. David Moloney:

It is really a matter for the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, but what I would say is that it is clear that the overall purpose of retrofitting is a value-for-money one. I take the point the Deputy makes. Inertia in upfront costs is going to have an impact on that.

However, the degree to which the State funds all or part of a retrofitting package is really a policy matter.
