The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) manage a number of residential and community energy upgrade grant support schemes on behalf of my Department. The administration and management of grant applications under these schemes are an operational matter for the SEAI.

The specific data requested by the Deputy is not routinely supplied by SEAI to my Department. I have directed SEAI to reply directly to the Deputy with the data requested for Cos. Westmeath, Longford, Offaly and Laois, in so far as it is available, as soon as possible.

SEAI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that such queries can be addressed promptly, in line with SEAI’s objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@seai.ie.

It is important to note that the vast majority of the retrofits of council-owned homes are funded under the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage's Local Authority Energy Efficiency Retrofit Scheme. Information in relation to outputs under this scheme can be sourced from the Department of Housing.
