The draft action plan for implementation of the EU energy performance of buildings directive in Ireland was published on 27 April 2005 by Sustainable Energy Ireland, SEI, on behalf of an interdepartmental working group. The group comprises senior officials from my Department, the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, and SEI. I have arranged for a copy of the draft action plan to be placed in the Oireachtas Library.

I have issued a press statement welcoming publication of the draft action plan and pointing out the public has three months, ending on 29 July 2005, to submit comments on the draft to SEI. I expressed the hope that this opportunity will be availed of by a wide cross-section of the general public, construction industry and the auctioneering and legal professions.
