Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Today, the Minister for energy will announce a very significant and comprehensive retrofit programme. The objective of that retrofit programme is to reduce the cost of living on an ongoing basis in home heating, in making homes cheaper to heat, and more comfortable and healthier over time. Some €200 million odd this year alone will come from the carbon tax towards that measure. The carbon tax is going back to the people. On the issue of better environmental farming practices, it will go to farmers, particularly low-income farmers. It will go to people in the retrofitting of their houses so that they are more efficient energy-wise and ultimately reduce costs.
