Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals and Impact of Brexit on the Irish Energy Market: Discussion
5:00 pm
Mr. Peter O'Shea:
I would have to get that and I am happy to do so. We access capital markets for a large part of our funding. We do not see the retrofit scheme as something we take on and do ourselves but we will certainly want to be part of it. Only last week I attended the launch by Durkan Homes of the near zero housing regime in Citywest. It is a fabulous development of 60 or 100 houses and Electric Ireland was part of delivering those. That is the sort of thing that must be ramped up, with policy and support to help around governance.
