Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-25
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I wish to support this amendment because language is very important in all legislation but "as far as practicable" was not good enough here because we know some of these big companies are very hard to engage with and they are intimidating, not deliberately, just by the fact of what they are. It is important for customers to be able to engage with them and get a timely response and a review when they feel they are unfairly treated. Therefore, I am supporting this amendment as well.
