Seán Crowe
Ceist:20. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment his views on the need for homeowners to replace entire domestic heat pumps systems which are reaching end of life and, particularly those that are R-410A based or installed prior to 2021; if he is concerned that the inability to access a grant to replace these systems, though the homes in question meet all other critical qualifying criteria, presents a financial inducement to revert to a gas/oil boiler or a solid fuel heating system which are dramatically cheaper; his views on the resulting impact to our carbon reduction targets; if he plans to extend the existing heat pump grant to those who are replacing outdated heat pump systems that have reached end of life with newer, more efficient systems; if he intends to introduce a grant to assist with the safe removal and disposal or recycling of older heat pump units and their refrigerant components; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
