They got the SEAI grant of between €1,800 and €3,000.

It's €1,800 now.

They're the ones who could afford it, who are now benefiting from, you know, €150 electricity bills, €100 electricity bills, while the people who couldn't afford to do that or weren't motivated to do that are now getting €500 electricity bills.

It is a no-brainer.
