Written answers

The Warmer Homes Scheme offers free energy upgrade s for eligible homeowners who are most at risk of energy poverty. Since 2000, over 143,000 free upgrades have been supported by the scheme.

The Department does not hold the information sought by the Deputy.  My officials have contacted the SEAI and requested the data as soon as possible.
