Energy Costs: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-03
============================================================

Barry Ward (FG), Dún Laoghaire

I like numbers too but I like when they are used in an appropriate way. To take the average amount spent on electricity according to figures in the Irish Independent , which came from the Department, and then apply them to a pensioner who is not necessarily paying the average amount is a little bit disingenuous and it does not reflect the reality of the situation.
