EIB to boost Ireland's district heating scheme

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the finance arm of the EU. It provides loans and grants for projects which it believes will support start up and government, especially in the space of decarbonisation. It funded the highly successful Luas construction and the less successful unfinished National Children's Hospital. The EIB has now launched a new toolkit for companies to see where the organisation can help. And it’s hoping to boost Ireland’s almost non-existent district heating scheme. Diarmaid Kehoe is the head of the EIB in Ireland and joined Joe Lynam on the show this morning.
