Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-17
============================================================

Fergus O'Dowd (FG), Louth

I raise for the third time on Questions on Policy and Legislation the plight of some very vulnerable citizens, many of whom are elderly and in poor health, living in fuel poverty and in mobile homes, which are the most inefficient homes for energy in the country. They cannot benefit from the €600 energy credit because they do not have an ESB meter registered in their name. They get their electricity from the supply park operator. I have raised this issue with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, who promised to get back to me. I raised it with the Taoiseach, who promised to get on to the Minister, and I raise it now with the Tánaiste, because it is unacceptable these people, who need the benefit of heat and energy the most, face an uncertain winter.
