In 2004 my Department introduced a central heating programme which provides funding for the installation of central heating in existing local authority dwellings. Under the programme a grant of €6,000 or up to 80% of the cost, whichever is the lesser, is available. From 1 January 2007, the central heating programme has been included as part of a local authority's improvement works programme.
The local authority concerned has a central heating programme in place which will continue into 2008. The details of its proposed programme for this year are a matter for the authority itself, in the context of preparing its improvement works programme, which is due to be submitted to my Department by end January 2008.
