There is a commitment in the programme for Government to provide extra funding for the retrofitting and insulation of Dublin City Council houses and apartments. It has been made known to me that no funding has been provided for a long time to Dublin City Council. This lack of funding has resulted in a complete standstill and suspension of the council's retrofitting programme. If we are serious about the environment, it is essential that the Ministers for the Environment, Climate and Communications and Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputies Eamon Ryan and Darragh O'Brien, and their Departments engage with Dublin City Council in order to deliver as a matter of urgency the funding which was promised to it but which has not been delivered.
