Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2018
515. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the date in 2019 from which persons who previously benefitted from the warmer homes scheme can be eligible for the expanded range of benefits under the scheme announced earlier in 2018. [53082/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Better Energy Warmer Homes scheme is funded by my Department and administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). In March this year, a decision was taken to expand the scheme to cover internal and external wall insulation and replacement of single-glazed windows. Homes that previously received works are not currently eligible to receive additional works having regard to the available exchequer funding.
The SEAI, working with my Department, will review the scheme in 2019 having regard to its operation since the new measures were introduced. Any changes to the eligibility criteria for the scheme will be set out following the review.
