I deal with many people who are looking for various grants etc. run by the SEAI, such as the warmer homes scheme and a few more. From what I have seen, the issue is that the application process can take up to 13 months and the administration process, regarding delivery, can take 14 months. That is 27 months. I have a bit of sympathy for the SEAI on this because there are issues across the construction industry around human resources and so on, but what is SEAI doing to bring that down? It is a complaint that is made to me and every other Deputy in this building. Everybody wants this now so what is the authority doing to bring down the timelines?
