Clare's Green Party senator claims older people are being locked out of retrofitting grants while living in older homes. 24% of homes in Ireland were built before 1961 while a further 21% were constructed before 1980 and a further 10% prior to 1990. Of the 169 homes built in Clare built in 1977 or before, less than half have a Building Energy Rating of C or above. Speaking in the Seanad, Inagh Green Party Senator Róisín Garvey says more needs to be done to enable those in older homes to access retrofitting.
