Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Empowering Local Government and Local Communities to Climate Action: Discussion

Ms Ruth Buggie:

The majority would be run by energy professionals. The requirement is that they have detailed experience and ability to deliver projects, and run the risks. We are allocating a significant amount to these projects. If we are committing them then there is the due diligence that we go through to ensure we allocate the moneys correctly, which requires a certain standard, and some communities have it while others do not. They participate in other ways, which we encourage as a learning process. If they want to lead a project the following year then they can see what is involved the year before they participate. I invite my colleague, Mr. O'Mahony, to answer the specific question on floodlights and I am happy to continue if the Senator has more questions.
