Ivana Bacik (Dublin Bay South, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I wish to express the support of the Labour Party for the amendment because it seeks to look into the way in which future schemes could be directed in a targeted manner, a point that we, and Deputy Nash in particular, have been making. We need to ensure credits will not be implemented in such a way as to create an inflationary effect and they should be targeted at those who most need them; that is, the most vulnerable and those who are most likely to fall into fuel poverty. We made that point on a number of occasions in the course of the debates on the budget and we again make it here in support of the amendment.
