I am not aware of a conversation on district heating in my Department. To be fair, it would pertain to the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications rather than the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. I have certainly heard the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, talk about the energy efficiency of district heating, if done well, in urban centres. District heating is done well in other parts of Europe.
