Government announces national insulation programme for economic recovery
Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government launched the national insulation program for economic recovery. The insulation program will cut heating bills for householders, reduce carbon emissions and create thousands of jobs both directly and indirectly over the course of a 5 year plan.
Insulation makes homes warmer and more comfortable. Householders can expect to halve their heating bills with serious reductions. This means more money in their pockets. Construction workers will benefit from the thousands of jobs these measures we create. These will be jobs for trades-people throughout the country.
This insulation programme saves energy, saves money and creates jobs. This is what our people, our homes and our economy need at this time. Government assistance will not be confined to those in private homes but will include those in low income and social housing.
The refurbishment of our local authority housing will also tackle the scourge of fuel poverty that exists in Ireland, particularly during cold weather. Heating will not be wasted going out the roof our up the chimney. Reducing energy use and CO2 emissions will also help us meet our climate change targets.
This is a programme that benefits our economy, environment and householder at the same time.
Announcing the investment Energy Minister Eamon Ryan said, this program will provide a welcome boost to the economy. Central to Government spending in sustainable energy is to get the economy back on track. We need to replace the spending and lending that has contracted and re-focus our public and private investment.
