Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
New Retrofitting Plan and the Built Environment: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Seamus Hoyne:
It was not necessarily analysis. In preparing to deliver to a local authority, we took its existing county development plan or the revisions being considered and performed a high-level identification of measures that were particular to that local authority's region. We were considering broader climate action, adaptation and mitigation. If it was a coastal local authority region, for example, it would have had different priorities than the Laois-Offaly area.
I would not call it a comprehensive analysis. It was a mechanism to engage participants in the training programme. We were feeding back data from their particular regions.
