Eamon Ryan has admitted that the Government "cannot stop" a major part of the cost of living crisis - but he defended their new retrofitting plan as 'the best way to tackle it'.
The Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications and Transport told RTE's Today with Claire Byrne that landlords will not be able to evict tenants who require or wish for a retrofit.
However, he also admitted that the Government "cannot stop or control" the price of oil and fuel as costs soar on the international market, driving the cost of living in Ireland skyward.
