Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I want to share with the Tánaiste a positive letter I got from Galway City Council. It is delightful. I am told the council is incredibly proud of the impact the energy retrofit programme is having in providing warmer and more efficient homes and helping to reduce energy poverty. It is a delightful letter except the family about whom I raised representations has gone on a waiting list and the city council has no money for the energy retrofit programme. It is all used up and that family is gone onto a list for next year. Yesterday, we heard the head of the Environmental Protection Agency tell us we will fail to meet all of our targets. I am drawing this to the Tánaiste's attention to show the staff are there, ready and willing, but there is no funding for them to carry out the retrofit programme.
