That might be a conversation I will take up directly with the SEAI. There might be scope to have a conversation in the locality I am thinking of.

On the fully funded scheme, according to the SEAI's website, fully funded energy upgrades are available to people who receive the following welfare payments: fuel allowance as part of the national fuel scheme; those on jobseeker's allowance for more than six months who have a child under seven years of age; working family payment; one-parent family payment; domiciliary carer's allowance; and disability allowance. Dr. Keilthy might also have a comment on this. As far as I know, people on invalidity pension do not qualify for the fully funded scheme. Is that correct? Has that ever been considered? Such people would very often be in similar circumstances to those who have been on disability allowance for more than six months. They would obviously be at significant risk of energy poverty as well.
