Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Empowering Local Government and Local Communities to Climate Action: Discussion
Mr. Robert Deegan:
As an addendum to Mr. O'Mahony's remarks, the national retrofit plan sets out a range of options for different households. We are really trying to make sure that households at different income levels have some level of support and there are options available to them. There is a real focus on getting people to do the deeper measures but as an emergency response to the current energy prices, 80% grants were introduced for attic and cavity insulation which are very low-cost, high-impact measures.
