Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Building Reform Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Feb 2023)

Jennifer Whitmore: More than 30,000 would require retrofitting from 2024 onwards. There would be six years in which to do that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Building Reform Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Feb 2023)

Jennifer Whitmore: That would be better than having him read it out. I am trying to get my head around the process. How does a local authority choose the houses to retrofit to a B2 standard?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Building Reform Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Feb 2023)

Jennifer Whitmore: Does the Department collect data? Does it know the number of tenants that are offered their accommodation back? Does the landlord have to inform the Department? Is some data collection being conducted to ensure that is actually happening?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Building Reform Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Feb 2023)
