An Post frustrated to be 'outside the tent' on Government retrofitting policy

Just 20 firms etrofitting around 500 homes annually will be registered as one-stop shops for the national energy efficiency programme by the end of this year.

An Post could assist the Government in the scale of the home retrofitting national programme, but remains "outside the tent" of Government policy, senior leadership figures in its organisation have said.

Appearing before the Oireachtas communications committee, An Post retail managing director Debbie Byrne said it was "very frustrating" that it could help the Government to accelerate the retrofitting of homes, but that it is not involved in the process.
