Mr. Brian O'Mahony:

Typically, when retrofit works are carried out in our programmes, tenants or homeowners do not have to leave. Many of the works can be carried out with the person living in situ. There are situations where the homeowner or tenant may need to move out where a complete refurbishment is occurring. The Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, regulates the sector for tenants. Under our programme for retrofitting, whether it is shallow or to B2 and beyond, it is possible to do most of those retrofits without the homeowner having to decant.
