Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Carbon Tax: Discussion

Mr. Robert Deegan:

We would suggest that the extent of fuel poverty was covered by the ESRI study, although I do not know if the ESRI wants to say anything on that. It used a similar methodology to that which was used in the 2016 study so it used the current measure of fuel poverty, and that was published in the ESRI report of June.
