I propose to take Questions Nos. 206 and 208 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.

The information sought is an operational matter for the SEAI, an agency under the aegis of my Department. It is suggested that the Deputy contact the SEAI directly in relation to this matter. The SEAI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that such queries can be addressed promptly and in line with the SEAI’s objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@seai.ie.

The Deputy may also wish to note that the SEAI has published full year and quarterly reports on the SEAI website which provide more detail in relation to the retrofits carried out under the SEAI schemes. The full year 2024 report can be found at:

and the most recently published Quarter 1 2025 report at:
