Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Large Energy Users Rebalancing Subvention: Discussion
Mr. Jim Gannon:
Yes. I think Ms MacEvilly has outlined that the CRU did consider different options at the time that could be considered to mediate some of the effects of the global financial crisis. That was forwarded to the Department, but it would not have included the measure that was ultimately taken. It certainly did include other measures that were also taken at the time, but did not include the rebalancing measure in 2009.
