Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Clare O'Connor:
I will speak about the two-year waiting list. We need to consider interim actions for those who are on the list for that long. For example, putting solar panels on their roofs would not disrupt their whole houses or lives. We need to consider low-hassle measures for the period people are waiting for deep retrofits. Another example is EnergyCloud, which appeared before the committee last week and could reduce people’s energy bills. Basic insulation of attics and cavity walls is also less hassle.
