Deep retrofitting of houses 'unattainable for huge numbers' without Govt grant, says Green Party councillor

Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy insists that the Government is still on track to retrofit half a million homes by 2030 - despite the fact there is no money left for the retrofitting grant offered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).
The grant provided 50% of the price of extensive energy upgrades in older homes. The news that there is no money left in the pot will potentially leave hundreds of homeowners in the lurch.
