Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am not sure if the Deputy checked with her counterparts in Northern Ireland but the party seems to have a very different philosophy in this part of the island. The position is that there will be no upfront charge and when this system is worked out by the regulator, the cost of the system will be subsumed into the standing charge to be determined by the regulator. The people living in the Deputy's constituency will not be given an upfront bill for payment.
