Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Catherine Murphy: That dispersed pattern of settlement we have is something we talk about routinely on different things with regard to services and costs and things like that. Does that make it more expensive to do the retrofits relative to other countries?

Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Catherine Murphy: On local authority housing and approved housing bodies, there are people there with whom the Department can deal with directly. The gap in the funding is very real in not being able to realise an ambition and wanting to realise that ambition. Has the Department done an assessment or does it have information from the local authorities about where those impediments are, or if parts of the...

Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Catherine Murphy: Can I just stop Mr. Walsh there? This is all disbursed and the big challenge is to pull this all together. There is one Department dealing with local authorities with the same scheme. Again, it is giving them the money and saying, "Okay, you do that" but not giving them enough to do it. One might as well not give it to them at all if they have no budget to pull it together. Whose job is...

The Cathaoirleach and I have picked up on something that was said about the body that deals with all the local authorities, which is the County and City Management Association. The last time we looked we were living in a democracy. It is quite extraordinary that there is no engagement with the people who are...

The review of the estimation techniques has been taken on board by the Department. We expect to see that happen next year. What work has started in order to ensure the review happens in 2024?

The Comptroller and Auditor General referred to it in respect of energy consumption in a household. It is a pretty obvious metric.

Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Catherine Murphy: I have one question I want to go back to. I have given the information to the Secretary General regarding those charging points. If I was buying a car and I was going to have a charging point, I would expect that when the charging point was installed in my house, and we are talking about 80%, nobody could impede me charging my car. It came as a complete shock to me that that could be...

Chapter 8: Performance of Certain Residential Retrofit Schemes (9 Nov 2023) Catherine Murphy: It can be absolutely guaranteed that in this case they paid for it. I could not get my head around that. We have to see where the problem arose there, not from the individual's perspective but how it can happen and to stop it from happening in the future so that people can be assured that, if they have a point installed at home, it is secure.
