Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I was waiting for the twist in the story. I thank the Deputy for highlighting that issue. To be blunt, there is a challenge in that lots of people around our country want to do the right thing in their own lives with regard to climate. They are finding the schemes we are providing are either not adequately resourced or are too rigid in terms of their application of rules. I am hopeful the Government can address this through budgetary processes and the NDP review. I will talk to the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, about Galway and the fact that there are people ready to go but there is not an adequate degree of funding. I will ask the Minister to come back to the Deputy directly.
