Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Conservation (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: The programme for Government, which I think the Minister referenced, hinted at an area-based element - another proposal Sinn Féin had. Will the Minister provide more detail about this and how he plans to target low income households, many of which are excluded? Will there be targeting based on income, as we put forward in our fairer retrofit plan? A woman from Dingle contacted me to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Conservation (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: Anybody who canvassed last month, whether in Dublin, Clare, Mayo, Galway or Kerry will know that the people dependent on solid fuel are those with the lowest of incomes. This scheme still fails to deal with solid fuel homes. Many people are left out in the cold as a result. Solid fuel homes are also linked to higher health risks. Those with open fires are twice as likely to have...

Pa Daly: 86. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the measures he is taking to increase the number of homes retrofitted as part of the Government's retrofitting scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6770/25]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Conservation (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: The retrofitting scheme is clearly not working. We need to increase the number of homes that are retrofitted as part of the Government's retrofitting scheme. Will the Minister please discuss this? Many people are locked out of the scheme - those who need it most in particular - because of the way it is structured. According to a survey in December, many people cannot afford to retrofit...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Policy (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: The question is about what other funding models the Minister has in mind. There is a broader issue of the increased investment in public ownership as a means of funding and accelerating the transition. Recent governments have created an energy system where profit maximisation seems to be the most important part of it. With the privatisation of our energy generation, the market share...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Policy (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: I want to ask the Minister about the funding model for supporting the roll-out of renewable energy, the public service obligation, PSO, levy and the carbon tax, and whether the Minister has any plan to reform current models. Will he make a statement on this? We have great renewable potential. A group of parliamentarians from Germany were here last year and all they wanted to talk about was...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Policy (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: I appreciate what the Minister has said. It is obvious that the PSO is a vital policy support, as the Minister has said. We have great potential to transform our energy system from import dependence to becoming a global leader in renewables. Significant investment will be required. At present, there is an inequity at the heart of climate change where the causes and effects are not equally...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Bord na Móna (20 Feb 2025)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for his reply. Was there any consultation with the Minister prior to Bord na Móna taking the decision that it proposed to sell off the recycling business?

I come from a place where all of the public waste collection companies were sold over the past 20 or 30...
