I too want to ask about the update on the benefit scheme to credit domestic electricity customers with €100 in 2022. I understand that inclusive of VAT, that amount will be €113. When will people get the rebate? Are there any plans to increase this figure? While we all welcome these kinds of announcements, it is unfair that people are not given clear information and timeframes. We were delighted with the announcement that front-line workers are to get €1,000. That is good news. However, there is confusion surrounding it. People are ringing us and we have no clear information. While these announcements are great, I suggest we put in place a timeframe to ensure we are absolutely clear in our information. When people ring our offices, we need to be able to tell them where we are and what the timeframe is.
