Ms Oonagh Buckley:
A very cost-efficient way of heating homes is through district heating whereas if we have dispersed housing, we cannot do district heating.
This could cover around 51% of Irish housing units if we rolled it out at the absolute maximum extent, which would be some way off. In other countries I believe that district heating is at much higher multiples of that.
