It goes without saying that we need this work done as assiduously as possible, particularly from the point of view of finding a solution that will work. There is a problem with these communal heating systems particularly when they are gas fed. We need to look at legislative change. I would like to find out when the task force or working group will come out with its set of recommendations. We do not want to recreate the situation. There are a number of apartment complexes in Dublin. There are 200 homes in Carlinn Hall. When the price of gas went through the roof people paid extortionate amounts and that is not viable.
We need those sorts of solutions. They will most likely be delivered by third parties. We need to make sure we have the grant schemes and everything else in place. I know the Minister does not want to jump the gun but are we looking at this review that is being carried out being relatively positive and maybe having a possible solution?
