The type of heating system installed in a local authority house is a matter for the local authority concerned. However, my Department has given approval for the use of a geothermal heating system in a small number of houses and a crèche facility in a new local authority housing scheme in Tralee, County Kerry. My Department will consider further proposals from local authorities for the installation of such heating systems in new housing schemes on a case by case basis.
