Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. John McCarthy:

To start with, I would not agree that my opening statement is a work of fiction. I just want to make sure that is recorded. The question I was asked previously related to the retrofitting programme and how long it would take. I honestly said that it would depend on the resources that were available. The Deputy has asked me a slightly different, but obviously related, question on how much retrofitting would cost. We are still finalising the phase 2 work but our estimate is that it will probably cost somewhere between €20,000 and €30,000 per unit.
