Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy Poverty: Discussion
Ms Clare O'Connor:
I do not know where the 10%, that exact figure for social housing targets, comes from. I am not sure if there is tension between that and decarbonisation objectives. We are calling for social housing to be retrofitted to B2 and hopefully made heat-pump ready. All social housing should be renewable-energy ready either through district heating or heat pumps. It is not necessary to have tension in increasing social housing.
