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

Ivana Bacik (LAB), Dublin Bay South

I am glad to hear the matter is being kept under review and it is welcome that there will be a public information campaign specifically for renters. It may be that this will only apply to a small proportion of those for whom the credit is not being passed on to the person who is effectively paying the bill. The amendment is designed to address that scenario, even if it only applies to a relatively small number. We are concerned to ensure the credit is passed on in all cases and that is a valid concern. Anecdotally, we are hearing that there are real fears and issues for tenants to whom it was not passed on previously. We put forward the amendment for that reason and we will press it.
