Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: Perhaps before the next tranche of them is bought, we should ensure we have charging points for them. The next ones might be inter-city buses doing longer journeys, so it is a case of having charging points in place for them before it is done. Deputy Murphy, have you an issue you want to come back in on?

Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: A shortfall of 28,000. Ms Buckley, the Department obviously made a forecasting error. How did that happen in 2022 because, last year, things were moving along?

Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Brian Stanley: There is a number of entities involved here. It is kind of unusual in that NBI is overlaying Eir infrastructure in terms of ducting and using its poles. What is the current situation regarding the leasing of those individual poles from Eir?

In terms of security for the future investment, can the witnesses explain the Eir infrastructure? Eir is a private entity and eight out of ten members on the board of NBI represent a private entity.
