This committee had a briefing from eHeat Ireland during the year. It was very interesting. There were some very specific asks. No doubt it is engaged with the Department as well but it argued that there should be supports for industry to help electrify heat production in that sector.

On the warmer homes scheme, we are still seeing oil and gas boilers being installed under the warmer homes scheme. What is the plan to get away from that because if we are doing this, we are locking in fossil-fuel systems for some of our most vulnerable population?
