Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Pat Barry:
Possibly a greater issue is ensuring that the grants system is appropriate. There tends to be a cut-off for those in energy poverty. The warmer homes schemes have their renovation fully funded but then we have a complete cut-off and then there are grants. Perhaps we need to means-test some of the grants and give additional funding to people who are just on the threshold of receiving the warmer homes grant.
