Ceist:

445. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the reason his Department carries out audits on the contractors who work on the SEAI housing insulation grants in December, when it would be more effective to have the audits in summer and allow the contractors to continue providing insulation in the winter months.

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Paudie Coffey)

The scheme referred to is funded by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, which also sets its terms and conditions, including auditing of contractors. Accordingly, my Department has no function in this matter.

Question No. 446 answered with Question No. 424.
