I can certainly look into how soon it can be released but it will be in 2023. I would be interested to hear where the issues were with SICAP allocation because there was a large increase last year. The safety net for many smaller groups will be through the allocation that we are giving to local authorities, which they will disburse through their local community development committees. We have allocated €362,000 to Cork County Council. I am not sure what stage the county council is at in opening that. It should be soon if it is not open already. People should be able to submit applications to that. I ask the Deputy to let us know if anyone has fallen through the cracks. The community and voluntary energy support scheme is something we had not done before. We did not know who or how many would apply for it. We were open to tweaking it and have done so. We thought we were catching everyone but I ask the Deputy to let me know if someone has fallen through the cracks.
