Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

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

2:00 pm

Mr. John McCarthy:

The speed with which the retrofitting is completed is down to the financial resources which are made available. That is not to say we would not marshal all the positive impacts that flowed from the retrofitting programme, not just in terms of carbon emissions but in terms of health too. It is difficult to quantify but there are health and comfort benefits.
