Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Infrastructure Provision and Residential Developments: Discussion
Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
We mentioned in our submission that in 2019, we changed the specification for new housing and increased it by 120% with a view to those new houses having new requirements in the very areas the Cathaoirleach mentions around electrification.
As new houses are being added to the network, we are bearing that in mind around the electrification of heat and transport, and that is part of our plans for growth for the future.
