Interview O’Sullivan MEP on zero-emissions buildings

The majority of MEPs this week backed measures to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the EU building sector by 2030 with the aim of making it climate neutral by 2050. And they want all new buildings to have zero-emissions from 2028. 

MEPs say national renovation plans should include support schemes to facilitate access to grants and funding. And they want targeted grants and subsidies for energy-saving renovations for vulnerable households.

Ireland South MEP Grace O’Sullivan spoke to Karen Coleman in the European Parliament in Strasbourg about the vote and what it will mean for people in Ireland. Here’s that interview.
