Call for people impacted by retrofit scheme to be compensated

Hundreds of people left out-out-pocket due to the Government's now-scrapped environmentally-friendly retro-fitting house grant should be compensated in full for any money they have spent to date on the project.

Sinn Féin climate action spokesman, David Cullinane, is demanding that the State picks up the bill for any costs accrued by the public after it emerged that millions of euro promised for the grants system now no longer exist.
