Fuel Poverty
Dail Éireann — 2026-09-17
============================================================

Paul McAuliffe (FF), Dublin North-West

The Minister will have heard me raise this issue in the past. It relates to the better energy warmer homes scheme. The Government has taken significant steps to increase the number of people eligible for the fuel allowance. However, there will be people this winter who do not have a heating system in their home and have no mechanism to gain one because of recent EU regulations in regard to stand-alone fossil fuel boilers.
