Last autumn, the Government made an unprecedented allocation of resources and outlined an unprecedented cost-of-living package to help householders with their electricity bills, energy bills more generally, and also a whole range of payments within the budget. I think that has given some help to people to deal with the unprecedented energy price crisis we are currently experiencing. I will talk to the Minister in respect of the €50. I believe there is an onus on the agency, in this context the ESB, to pay back what is due as quickly as possible. I will talk to the Minister about that.
