Ms Marion O'Brien:

On 2021, in the overall context of the budget allocation from all sources, we spent around 65% of our budget allocation. As the Comptroller and Auditor General pointed out, we overspent on electric vehicles and there was some underspend on the national retrofit programmes. We were still in the Covid-19 pandemic in the early part of 2021, and even as we got into our warmer homes scheme, there was some slow take-up and people were nervous about getting into homes and doing work in the early part of the year. It was towards the latter part of 2021 that we were able to scale our programmes back up and deliver our national retrofit targets.
