198. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government in view of cuts in local government funding, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that voluntary initiatives show that savings of at least 20%, or €23 million per year, could be made in the energy costs of local authorities, which are estimated by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland at €115 million per year; his views that such savings should be made urgently in major cost areas such as waste water treatment, public lighting, local authority buildings and transport efficiencies, by requiring all local authorities to participate in targeted energy efficiency programmes to make these cuts that do not hurt; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
