Returning to the energy crisis, around seven weeks ago the Minister launched the national retrofit scheme.

That is a welcome scheme for residences up and down the country and within that policy is the establishment of the one-stop shops. Will the Minister update the House on the progress that has been made on that to ensure householders can enter this scheme within a reasonable timeframe?

I wish I was able to answer the Deputy in a few hours because I am heading from here to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, show in the Royal Dublin Society. I am meeting the SEAI chief executive there who will give me an update on the various elements. My understanding is that it is ready to go and that a number of companies are registered. I expect it to be announced imminently. There has been a huge public response and an unprecedented level of interest. From talking to companies directly involved in the sector, their problem is getting the supplies in, not the customer demand. I am confident we can do both and that those one-stop shops will be up and running within a short period.
