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?

The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, is working on the legislation at present. There will be a chance to debate and tease out these issues. One issue that has come up is that if we start to exclude or exempt particular types of residences, it makes it much harder to do. It seems it is quite straightforward to knock €100 or €113.50 off every domestic bill, but when we start to create different categories of people or residences it then becomes much slower and more expensive to administer. We have to bear that in mind.
