Dublin free fuel scheme deliveries
The Minister said a review of the Dublin scheme was under active consideration, disputed reports of widespread delivery delays, and asked Deputies to bring individual cases to him or the corporation.
Is the Minister aware that there appears to be evidence to suggest that many thousands of people in the Dublin region who should benefit under the free fuel scheme have not received supplies for, in some cases, up to five weeks?

I assure the Deputy that is not so. There may be the odd one or two, but the corporation assure me that they are as active and as effective in this matter as they possibly can be. Their deliveries are well up to normal standards.

There seems to be a discrepancy in the evidence on this matter because people have reported in good faith to Deputies about supplies not being received.

The Deputy should urgently bring these cases to my attention or to the attention of Dublin Corporation.
