599. Deputy Robert O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the reason the 2026 Energy Efficiency Retrofitting Programme (EERP) Circular requires local authorities to include a mix of properties across a range of building energy ratings (BERs) when selecting dwellings for retrofit works; whether this approach means that estates with the poorest-performing homes are not prioritised for deep retrofit works; the rationale for balancing higher-cost deep retrofits with more moderate interventions; if he will consider revising the selection criteria to ensure that priority is given to homes with the lowest BER ratings and greatest energy inefficiency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
