Garret Ahearn (FG), Administrative Panel

This is what people ask me all of the time: how can it be that when the wholesale prices go up, the bills go up straight away, but we are told by Electric Ireland that when wholesale prices come down, and they are now lower than they were before the war, it cannot be done for 18 or 24 months? It cannot always be the Government that people fall back on.
