Let me be very clear, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland is in charge of delivering the retrofitting scheme. The SEAI now has 22 years of experience, real skill and a significant increase of an additional 100 staff in the past two years, to make sure that they and the industry are in place to deliver on the massive expansion we need to do in the retrofitting area. There has been specific attention since the very start on making sure standards are upheld, operators are registered, there are routine checks and making sure the work done is actually to specification and that it works. The Deputy is right. If we have to retrofit a retrofit programme, it is deeply damaging in a whole range of different ways. The SEAI has the skills, the ability and the staff, and I believe it is delivering on our plan.
