Days of the open fireplace are coming to an end – Climate Change Advisory Council

In its latest report the council has warned that Ireland urgently needs to phase out fossil fuels from our homes and workplaces.

Asked if the days of heating homes through open fireplaces are coming to an end, she said"For your own health, yes they are". Ms Donnelly noted that nobody is going to force people to stop burning fossil fuels – but Government must do all it can to encourage people towards more sustainable practices.“So if I just go through, say, a heat pump, for example, if you look at the SEAI website, you can do your own calculations, but, you know, you can save about €500 a year, on average, by moving to a heat pump in terms of your running costs.
