Donegal County Council is planning to retrofit up to 480 of its social housing units around the county this year under the Energy Efficient Retrofitting Programme.
The Department of Housing has already committed €10 million to the council for such works and it is envisaged that this will enable it to carry out works on 265 properties.
In response to a question on the subject, submitted to the March plenary meeting of Donegal. County Council, Cllr Albert Doherty was told that “in keeping with previous years, the council is hopeful that additional funds will be made available later in the year to fund the upgrade of additional council properties.”
