Mr. Jerry MacEvilly:

The provision of free solar panels for the medically vulnerable is very progressive and it could be expanded. I agree that there is a fundamental problem concerning those needing to be registered on life support. The point was made that many of these individuals simply do not have the time. I also understand that not all energy suppliers are signed up to this, which is a further blockage, and solar PV is not covered by the SEAI free energy upgrade scheme so a range of improvements could be made to that.
