Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
Mr. Dermot Byrne:
I will quickly reply on renters. Renters are a real problem because there is a split incentive there. It is well-recognised as being a problem. We support landlords who are eligible to apply for grants but it is recognised that there is a problem there that has to be addressed.
We take a fabric first approach to public sector schools. I am conscious that people want to put solar panels on schools but that has been more difficult. We work with the Department of Education and have a protocol there that needs to be revisited. Perhaps we need to revisit that under the new microgeneration scheme.
