Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion

Mr. Jim Gannon:

Let us consider a steady pipeline of activity. During a recession, private people will likely have a lower ability to pay. This is an effort to maintain a level of activity but the mix could change. If, during a recession, a lower number of people can pay, then the social aspect could be turned up to try to maintain the level of activity in the context of CO2.
