What are the Minister's priorities for 2022? Where does he want to see real progress? He has said that there will be milestones along the way and they have to be reported and monitored by the European Commission. What are the priority projects for 2022? How does the Minister see progress evolving this year?

The timeframe for the delivery of these projects is tight. My understanding is that there is a requirement under the regulations governing this process to complete the relevant programmes by 2026. One of the commitments that I know has been made is for a retrofitting programme for public buildings. That will be very important and the Government needs to lead by example on it. Some €60 million will be allocated for retrofitting public buildings. I would welcome an update on that. It is obviously a matter for the Office of Public Works but an update on it would be appreciated. Is that achievable within the timeframe?
