Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-27
============================================================

Jennifer Whitmore (SD), Wicklow

I will raise the issue of the €100 electricity credit payment, which I understand is coming before the Dáil next week. Like many others, I share the concerns about it not being a targeted approach. I understand the administrative burden related to means testing something like that, but I cannot understand why this Government will also give 62,000 holiday homeowners that credit. A person who is wealthy enough not only to own his or her own home but also a holiday home will get an additional €100 credit on his or her electricity bills. Will the Tánaiste respond to that?
