Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Implementation of the New National Retrofit Plan: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland
Mr. William Walsh:
It would be at risk if the funding did not come from elsewhere. The funding has been ring-fenced into our budgets from the carbon tax. It absolutely would have an impact, from an SEAI perspective. I will not discuss the wider implications of the energy crisis, but from an SEAI perspective and our mandate, it would be a retrograde step.
