Ceist:

368 Deputy John Lyons asked the Minister for Social Protection the role officials in her Department have or could play in identifying homes that are most in need of retrofitting; her views that this could aid the prioritisation of homes for retrofitting of insulation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Social Protection (Deputy Joan Burton)

My Department has no function in relation to the retrofitting of homes. The responsibility for this function rests with my colleague the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.
