My question relates to today’s announcement that Avant Money and An Post will join the Government-backed scheme for home energy upgrades. While this is most welcome and people will be able to get their loans upfront and commence their work at the start, I would like the Government to review the fact that often people have to replace their entire heating system and cannot avail of stoves and so on. This is something we need to reflect on to possibly get it included in the scheme. There are many elderly people especially who would not have access to the type of money that would be required to replace the full heating system in some cases. Will this be looked at?
