Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-12
============================================================

Jennifer Whitmore (SD), Wicklow

There we have the answer. I am glad there has been some honesty regarding this particular aspect. When it first came to the Dáil and was discussed in December, the reason we were told it was not targeted was because the capability and mechanism was not there. Now, there is an acknowledgement that this was never to be a targeted mechanism of getting money out and that it was always going to be universal. That is the key point. I will be pressing this amendment.
