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

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I will speak in support of the amendment, which is necessary and important. This is another one of those anomalies where things that are left open sometimes result in those who are intended and entitled to receive a credit not receiving it. I want to add to the examples that have been given and detail the additional complexity that arises where there is a multi-unit facility with one MPRN and individual pay-as-you-go meters. There are a number of these around this city and there is the additional and combined problem of individual landlords possibly not passing on the credit, as well as the lack of protection against disconnections. The people affected are particularly exposed and are getting less support than many others. This amendment would go some way towards addressing that disadvantage.
