Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
226. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is only one S.I. 496 auditor based in County Donegal and very few of the remaining auditors will provide services in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29607/22]
View answerUnder S.I. 426 of 2014, the SEAI shall register and maintain the register of energy auditors under the energy audit scheme. The registered energy auditors are not restricted by county to carry out audits in respect of the class or classes in which they are so registered. The SEAI works with professional bodies such as Engineers Ireland to provide training to ensure that there are sufficient auditors to service the market.
At this time, there are 129 Registered Auditors and there are currently 87 Auditors on the Register of Energy Auditors that service Ulster.
