PQ 270
270. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment if he is aware that eligibility for the standalone grants for windows and doors requires homes to have wall insulation at a "good" or "very good" standard, as defined by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland; whether he is aware that a cohort of homes are not suitable for cavity wall insulation due to construction type, leaving external wall insulation as the primary option at significantly higher cost, thereby creating a significant financial barrier to accessing what is intended as a standalone grant; the supports available in such cases; whether consideration has been given to introducing flexibility within the grant criteria for such homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
