The Government is committed to promoting and incentivising energy efficiency in the residential sector. In the context of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan and the Programme for Government, we will be giving particular priority to upgrading the energy efficiency of older housing stock. I have mandated my Department to develop detailed proposals for the requisite scheme and related measures, working with Sustainable Energy Ireland.
