The witnesses do not know.

An issue that has come up repeatedly is dual pricing. Dual pricing in the insurance market has been criticised but essentially, Electric Ireland does that. New customers get a better tariff than existing customers. Has Electric Ireland considered, as has been widely called for by a range of agencies, putting every consumer on the lowest possible tariff? I presume it is making a profit on all tariffs or does it have a loss leader?
