Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) Bill 2023
Mr. Evan Walker:
That is the policy. It is first and foremost for the Commission. This is a regulation and so it is stronger than just an opinion piece from the Commission. The regulation stated at the time that this was to run from December until March only. That is first and foremost for the Commission and second for the Government. It is not for me to come up with a different policy.
