    From SEAI so looks like with some RE they will work

    Question: Are they " banned " from new builds Answer: Oil boilers are not currently banned from new builds. There is a requirement for a minimum efficiency and the property also has to have some other form of renewables on site for the RER contribution."Achieving compliance with Part L and Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2019.
    For fully pumped hot water-based central heating systems utilising oil or gas, the boiler seasonal efficiency should be not less than 90% as specified in the DEAP manual and the associated Home-heating Appliance Register 
    of Performance (HARP) database maintained by the SEAI (www.seai.ie/harp). Effectively this requires the use of condensing boilers."

    Major Refub is earlier to comply with and can be done easily enough with a condensing oil boiler. Much of this focus here is on fabric
