My Department is actively engaged in improving heating standards in local authority housing. Since the introduction of the central heating programme in 2004, my Department has provided grants worth € 94 million for the installation of central heating in some 19,600 local authority houses. In line with our commitments in the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion 2007-16, this scheme will continue in 2008 with funding of € 30 million available for a further 5,000 central heating installations.
