CHIP is assisting Sustainable Energy Ireland in administering this scheme in parts of County Louth.

Mr Ryan said: "Insulation makes homes warmer and more comfortable. Householders in Louth and beyond can expect to halve their heating bills with reductions of €700 per annum.

"This means more money in their pockets," he added.
