Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion
Mr. Jim Scheer:
We in the SEAI have delivered a number of programmes on behalf of the Government for a number of years, and this is a new bucket of money for a different programme, under a different heading, and targeted at a specific area. It is new. To date, our schemes have generally been open to all comers from throughout the country. A number of community grant schemes and so on have taken place in specific areas, but never before has there been a dedicated bucket of money for a specific area.
