I propose to take Questions Nos. 164 and 166 together.

A range of SEAI supports are in place to make it easier and more affordable for homeowners to undertake home energy upgrades, for warmer, healthier and more comfortable homes, with lower energy bills and emissions. These include grant supports for attic and cavity wall insulation.

In recent years, demand across the SEAI residential and community energy upgrade schemes has been very high. Figures from the SEAI show that during 2024 and January 2025, over 57,550 home energy upgrades have been supported under the residential and community energy upgrade schemes.

With regard to attic and external wall insulation measures supported, the SEAI data from the Better Energy Homes Scheme show:

• 9,215 roof/attic insulation upgrades were supported in 2024 and 595 were supported in January 2025
• 1,611 external wall insulation upgrades were supported in 2024 and 106 supported were supported in January 2025
