Energy Policy
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-10
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

It would be good to have a timeline for when the Minister of State sees that business case being in place. I think we all agree on the necessity of renewables and decarbonisation. We have seen some district heating projects that make complete sense where waste energy, rather than remaining waste, is piped in and used as a means of providing heat. We need as much as possible of this done as soon as possible. The Minister of State talks to the stakeholders, I assume. I would like an update on the interactions with the companies that are looking to put plans in place because they are still talking about how there is insufficient support. We have schemes that are not fit for purpose from a point of view of delivering. I will deal with communal heating systems and the particular issues in a moment.
