Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Implementation of the New National Retrofit Plan: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
Dr. Ciaran Byrne:
That is potentially the case and I might ask my colleague, Ms McCarthy, to come in as this is where seminal policy documents such as the National Heat Study come in. We are not setting out our targets as carved in stone in saying this is our scheme and this is what we are doing. It has to be agile and we will adjust. We talk about pilot schemes, taking the learnings, adjusting and going to certain areas to target these to make our targets. I will ask my colleague to come in now as this might be a good juncture to give the committee a briefing on the National Heat Study, which informs us.
