On the cause and message being so important, and on Professor Daly's point about selling the good stories or even the personal stories of people who have been adversely affected by climate change, we are ahead of target on retrofitting and electric vehicle numbers. If we wanted to do more, we could not do so because we are maxed out in terms of retrofitting homes and providing electric vehicles. How we ramp up the capacity of the State to do more was mentioned. We are effectively at full employment now. I do not know if the witnesses addressed that in their research. If everybody in Leitrim decided that to get their house retrofitted because Deputy Kenny is, they would struggle to find somebody to do it, even if they had the money. This is an important question that needs to be addressed.
