Opposition parties and climate campaigners are calling for the Government to allocate more resources to retrofitting social homes.
They are calling for particular focus on helping local authority tenants living in cold, damp or mouldy conditions.
Budget 2026 includes €140 million to support the retrofitting of 3,500 social homes to a Building Energy Rating of B2.
It provides funding of €558 million for the SEAI residential and community energy upgrade schemes this year, which include retrofits for homeowners and some homes owned by approved housing bodies.
The Climate Action Plan includes a target to retrofit 36,500 local authority owned homes by 2030. That represents one quarter of the local authority housing stock and would match the percentage of private homes upgraded.
