I also want to raise the issue of solar panels on schools. I recently visited St. Philip's senior national school which has been awarded a grant for a major refurbishment of the school's walls and ceilings. It would be a shame not to have solar panels installed while that refurbishment work is being done. It is really important that the Government brings forward that exemption. According to a recent report from Stanford University, solar panels would meet 75% of schools' energy costs and would reduce the carbon footprint of the education sector by as much as 28%. It is well worth doing.
