Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-08
============================================================

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

As the Minister of State said, most of our amendments were ruled out of order but what they were seeking to do was improve the Government scheme. As I said, any measures at all that alleviate the cost of electricity where people are struggling to heat their homes are welcome. We thought with amendment No. 4 that those on hardship meters would have access to the same rights and entitlements as all other domestic electricity customers. It is disappointing it was ruled out of order.
