Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 pm
Mr. John McCarthy:
The performance standards we set in the building regulations apply if renovation work is undertaken in a rental property, as they do in an owner-occupied property. The performance standard would have to be achieved. However, we cannot mandate people to retrofit their properties. It is going to be an issue for the Minister Deputy Denis Naughten's Department as to how we can encourage people to do so.
