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

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

We accept that the Bill went through speedily and everybody supports it. We welcome the payments, supports and mechanisms for people to get the payment. While it is an effort, we are not tackling the elephant in the room, which is the exorbitant prices being charged in this country in comparison to our EU colleagues. We have the highest prices by far. We can blame the climate crisis or whatever but the Minister's actions in shutting down peat stations and the bogs-----
