‘They’re still coming to take down’ insulation
Dublin South-West TD Paul Murphy (PBP) launched an External Wall Insulation Bill while a constituent is still facing €5,000 fine or imprisonment for insulating his home without planning permission.
If enacted, it would make the installation of external insulation exempt from planning permission requirements, similar to the exemption for solar panels, with Deputy Murphy saying it aims to “speed up the process of retrofitting homes and allow councils to focus on more important work.”
