Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Implementation of the New National Retrofit Plan: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
Mr. William Walsh:
At a meeting of the Committee of Public Account some weeks ago and earlier today, I heard Deputies express this concern about evictions. The word "renoviction" is new to me. From an SEAI perspective, we have a social justice element to our work but we also need to protect our retrofit brands. We will keep this matter on our radar. We can certainly engage with the RTB to see what is happening there and to ensure we introduce any measures we can to avoid that scenario and incentivise the landlord market in an appropriate fashion.
