505 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science if, notwithstanding the energy saving benefits of proper insulation in schools and orientation of classrooms, his attention has been drawn to the potential to cut energy costs at schools and raise revenue at the same time through the installation of modern photovoltaic solar panels; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the Joint Committee on Education and Science recently discussed this issue and that one of the main barriers identified was the inability to feed into the grid and get a return on this energy feed and that this barrier no longer exists and schools or his Department will be able to get paid for electricity produced outside of school hours; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
