Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 March 2022
193. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if his Department will provide assistance in the form of an allowance for the burning of coal for organisations that have heritage vehicles such as steam engines as these vehicles are used in vintage car shows to raise vital funds and awareness for charity; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerNew regulations on the use of solid fuels in Ireland, due to take effect from 1 September this year, are to apply to solid fuels that are placed on the market for heating in residential and licensed premises. This will not impact on fuels supplied for the purposes of powering vintage machinery, and as such, there are no plans to provide any form of financial assistance or allowances in relation to the supply of fuel for this purpose.
