On the availability of the grant and its due finishing date in 2015, Hardware Association Ireland has made a submission in its budget submission with regard to extending it further. It is interesting to see that the statistics show that its uptake has not yet extended throughout the country but is concentrated to be concentrated in the east.
There are couple of things that might be put into the submission on the budget. There are those who cannot avail of the scheme, particularly retired people who might like to renovate their own home. Has the Hardware Association of Ireland considered that in its budget submission?
