Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Environmental Schemes (28 Sep 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome the fact that waiting times are being reduced but to bring them from 26 months down to 19 months is not ideal. We need to go further. The Minister of State has explained that this is a great scheme. It has the money in it to deliver what is needed by people who are in fuel poverty. The problem is with the expectation that has been created by the scheme. The design of the scheme...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Environmental Schemes (28 Sep 2023)

Seán Canney: I agree wholeheartedly with everything the Minister of State has said. This is not a criticism of the scheme. It is a free scheme. The number of people coming into my office inquiring about it has risen over the last six months. I accept that. If the Minister of State looks at the local contractors, that would be important.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2023)

Seán Canney: I welcome the motion from Sinn Féin and am glad to get an opportunity to speak on it.
