Public Accounts Committee

2021 Financial Statements of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I guess that was probably a scheme rule put in place in the early days. To a large extent, the vast majority of work is done well ahead of that. Individual grants by and large are dealing with individual measures. They are much quicker and easier to put in. I cannot give the Deputy a specific reason it is not seven or ten months. Eight months is part of the rules of the scheme and that is what it has been for a number of years. We have had no particular issues with that. As the Deputy can imagine, when people are approved for the grant, the vast bulk of them do it within the first couple of weeks, the first month or two, and then it tails off.
