Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion

Mr. Michael Manley:

I will ask Mr. Deegan to talk in detail about the scheme but in general, this is a success. The growth in demand for those schemes has been far more than we could have anticipated. People have engaged, which is a positive thing. It feeds well into going forward. In terms of financing for the year, about this time every year, we do a mid-year review of what is and is not working. These things mostly came out of the C4 subhead of the Department. There are 14 different programmes underneath that. Some will go quicker while others will go slower so we will rejig that to make sure there is sufficient funding in those programmes for this year. Mr. Deegan might take us through what we have spent so far.
