While I have had no engagements with the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications on this topic, my officials have made enquiries and have been advised that the new regulations on the use of solid fuels in Ireland are to apply to solid fuels that are placed on the market for heating in residential and licensed premises. Minister Ryan has further confirmed that this will not impact on fuels supplied for the purposes of powering vintage machinery.
