Does the Minister agree that Deputy O'Rourke is distorting the picture somewhat? The reality is that the one-stop shop scheme requires applicants to go to B2. People will not get those additional supports unless they go to B2. Would the Minister also agree that even if the warmer homes scheme does not deliver B2 ratings, very substantial reductions of between 60% and 70% in the fuel costs of households can be achieved for those most vulnerable families by some of the interventions? In the long term, the ideal is B2 but that is very expensive. I would rather see a lot of families helped to significantly reduce their fuel costs than striving for perfection for a very small group of people.
