We always talk about middle Ireland, the squeezed middle, etc. It is very difficult for people who are out there working and who do not qualify for fuel allowance. They have a little bit more disposable income, but not much. They would have nowhere near the requirement to try to have a deep retrofit undertaken. There is just no option for them in this regard. We are trying to encourage people in this regard, but I think Dr. Byrne is saying there is a technology gap here. There is also a financial support gap. Would Dr. Byrne accept this?
