Claire Kerrane: Each time the energy crisis is raised, and I have raised it with both the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, and the Tánaiste on numerous occasions, we are told that the fuel allowance is the solution.

Claire Kerrane: In 2019, the EU downgraded the west and north-west region from a developed region to a region in transition.
