The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) administers the Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme under the Better Energy Programme. I have no function in relation to individual grant applications. Queries in relation to individual applications are an operational matter for SEAI and a dedicated hotline can be reached at 1800 250 204. In addition, SEAI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members. These queries can be sent to and will be dealt with promptly. As a general policy matter I can say that SEAI aims to deliver services to the highest technical standards available at any time. This means that the services offered evolve as technical standards improve. There are currently more than 3,000 homes on a waiting list for the Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme and SEAI's priority is to deliver services to the fuel poor who have received no services previously. It is not currently anticipated that homes where services have been previously delivered will be revisited by SEAI.
