The committee has been informed that our new building standards still provide for fossil fuel heating systems and our new school building standards preclude renewable heating systems and insist on fossil fuel. In a country that must deep retrofit everything, permitting fossil fuel heating seems like madness. If it involves other Ministers such as the Minister for Education and Skills, could the Minister not just insist that we stop using fossil fuel heating now?
