Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: On meeting targets, there are key performance indicators that will be required. Is the supervisory aspect of that done at each Department level? Is that done at the SEAI level? What is the governance arrangement of that?

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: We have very limited time, so I need a short answer.

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: That will be the global. Then it comes down to the practical, such as looking at delivery outputs and things like that. The underspend can be accounted for by Covid and with labour market difficulties. Is it tightly controlled? It is important we deliver on these targets in a way that we get best value for money.

Catherine Murphy: I know that. It is something I kept an eye on because an allocation was made involving possibly 30 houses to one local authority. It was not earth-shattering but it was nonetheless important. The deep retrofit proposals regarding those houses were about €10,000 less than the actual cost of doing the work. Obviously, inflation has kicked in and we can see the difference between what...
