Do we have a significant increase in funding for the residential and community retrofit programme? Could the Minister of State speak to that under this programme?

I support the comments that have been made on the output indicators. In this programme they are a little more satisfactory, in my opinion.

Regarding the indicators on page 132, we do not have the 2022 figures for context and impact indicators for the warmer homes scheme and the warmth and well-being scheme. When will we have those?

On subheads B11 and B13,electricity credit and emergency generation capacity, might we expect to see Supplementary Estimates on those in 2023? We will have electricity credits in this year and my understanding is that there is some way to go on the emergency generation capacity, so how will that be accounted for?
