Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Cathal Lee:

To be completely parochial for the Deputy, it was in the Fingal local authority area that the very first EnergyCloud installation took place. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, was within his 5 km or 3 km radius - it happened during Covid. I think he was nearly able to walk there. I am not saying exactly where it was, but he was well able to walk to the installation in 2021. The point is that this has come a long way. As local authorities and approved housing bodies look at their plans, they should be considering how they do their next three, five or ten years and put EnergyCloud at the heart of that.
