Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

It is not that simple to get a totally universal system for the energy credit. That is why we have brought in other measures, in addition to that credit, to provide supports to others. There is, for example, the extension of the free fuel eligibility threshold which helps many people over 70 who would not have heretofore been entitled to it. We will talk to the Ministers concerned to see if we can do something. Anomalies like this are arising and we have dealt with some in different sectors. We have come up with a system to deal with those but we have to do it in a way that does not allow for obvious exploitation.
