Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

My constituency has seen an unprecedented increase in cases involving exorbitant energy bills. For example, a young mother received an energy bill for €6,000. As the Tánaiste can imagine, this caused her unnecessary distress and could have impacted her ability to pay her mortgage. The Government has indicated that it intends to bring in a windfall tax in the coming weeks. Can the Tánaiste tell us when it is intended to introduce this tax? It is urgently needed to assist people who are struggling, the consumers out there. It is just terrible the number of people who are struggling with these bills.
