Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 November 2022
57. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if a list will be provided of all schemes and programmes under the remit of his Department for which a means test applies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59654/22]
View answerMy Department does not operate any schemes or programmes for which a means test applies. My Department provides funding to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland for the Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme. The eligibility criteria for that scheme includes qualifying payments from the Department of Social Protection, one of which is the Fuel Allowance which is subject to means testing by that Department.
