I propose to take Questions Nos. 169, 251 and 309 together.
My Department funds a number of grant schemes, administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), to support homeowners improving the energy efficiency of their buildings, and to promote the adoption of renewable energy systems. These schemes include grants for the fabric upgrade of buildings (e.g. insulation), as well as solar PV and heat pump installation.
In the first half of 2025, a total of 26,320 property upgrades have been delivered under the SEAI retrofit schemes and, of these, 11,187 have been to a BER B2 level or higher.
The equivalent figures for Quarter 1 2025 show 11,910 property upgrades, of which 5,114 were to a level of B2 or higher.
