Again, there are mixed views on the efficiency of Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI. Some said it was a very efficient organisation and others said it was quite slow. Others said we should spend more on retrofitting, but started off by saying they would abolish every scheme that is there already. If we abolish all the schemes that are up and running and starting to have an impact and start from scratch, in about three years’ time, we might get a house retrofitted. The idea that we will do more by abolishing every one of the schemes in place, as was said today, will not be accepted. If somebody supports the policy of abolishing every retrofit scheme in the country, that is fair enough. However, I would not accept that approach and the people will not accept that. They are promising something in the fine day ahead.
