Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Cap on Market Revenues) Bill 2023: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-15
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

We are paying out on the energy credit. Tomorrow, the Select Committee on Environment and Climate Action will meet to agree the additional moneys to transfer. The Minister of State should not tell people it is going to be funded out of this legislation, which has not even been passed. When will people see the action of this windfall tax? Is it next September, as was originally intended? What moneys will be accrued and how will they be distributed to people to relieve them of the high cost of electricity, which I presume given the current performance will continue well into next year?
