I am asking Ms McDade this because there is a particular problem where people have availed of the SEAI grant before, maybe years ago and during the scheme's original days, and that is attached to the MPRN. Now they are being refused for the scheme this time around because they have already availed of it. They are treating that as normal as well. Even though there is a promise of a specialised grant through SEAI, homeowners in Mayo are finding they are being turned away because it works out, after all, that it is not specialised. It is business as usual. Have any of the witnesses come across that?
