Ruairi Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

In fairness I was asking for a timeline and I have got one for publication. We are speaking about early October. In a previous parliamentary question I asked whether we needed to do work to ensure there was an SEAI grant system for management companies and companies such as Frontline Energy and others involved in this communal heating system. This is from the point of view of delivering when we finally do have a feasible product that could offer a real, decent, sustainable heating source rather than gas, which caused all of the difficulties the Minister of State spoke about. I am told this is the case and I want to make sure that it is. We need this to be published in October and the sooner the better. Then we need to make sure that it is enacted. People have waited a long time and we do not know what exactly will be the case with gas prices. Beyond this we want sustainability and this is the Achilles heel of district heating.
