Elderly and vulnerable to get free ‘deep retrofit’ for their homes

Elderly and vulnerable people whose homes are in poor condition can get a “new deep retrofit” free of charge to improve them.

Minister for Communications, Climate Action, and Environment Denis Naughten made the announcement.

He said owners who are entitled to the “significant” upgrade under the Warmer Homes scheme would be those in receipt of the fuel allowance, Family Income Supplement, or One-Parent Family Payment.
