I do not see where the large energy user rebalancing subvention is accounted for. It is a measure to reduce the cost of electricity bills on households. It is a measure the Minister brought in in 2010 and that has been in place up until a couple of weeks ago. According to reports, it involved €600 million on household bills over a decade. Where is that accounted for? When was it lifted? Why was it in place for so long? Will the Minister give us an update on that?
