Climate Action Plan
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-21
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I previously brought up the issue of Carlinn Hall and the communal heating system fed by gas. There is a particular issue with these designs. The district heating steering group would need to compile a report. I like to think that report would contain that sort of information. A geothermal feasibility study has been carried out in Carlinn Hall. In fairness, as I said, the Taoiseach's office came back to me about a timeline and it has been updated since. The first part of the report is to be at the end of June and the second is at the end of the summer. We would need to make sure there is a grant scheme that would facilitate the switching to something like geothermal. We also need to look at it from the point of view of a proper district heating survey and scheme across the board.
