The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) administers Better Energy: Warmer Homes on behalf of my Department. The energy poverty strand of Better Energy aims to provide energy efficiency improvements to low-income homes unable to afford the cost of implementing such measures.

The SEAI advises that the person referred to has had all of the currently available measures which are appropriate to their home (draught proofing, CFLs, attic insulation, hot, cold and storage tank lagging, as well as energy advice) installed on 17th October last, in line with my reply to the Deputy's Parliamentary Question of 4 October 2011.

Queries in relation to individual applications are an operational matter for the SEAI and a dedicated hotline can be reached at 1800 250 204. In addition, the SEAI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members which can be sent to oireachtas@seai.ie and will be dealt with promptly.
