It has brought to a standstill an already difficult environment, in particular in respect of contractors. I ask that homeowners who register with SEI and who qualify for the grant have such grant backdated to the date of registration as this would allow the scheme to commence sooner rather than later. I ask that the Leader raise this issue with the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, in an effort to find a resolution to allow this scheme to commence.
