Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

The allowance amounts to approximately €9 per week. Revenue is accrued from oil and petrol sales and this should be redistributed, not to us but to those who need it most. This would be quickest way to give support to those who need it most. This will be a winter of great difficulty for people unless support is given to those who need the fuel allowance. I call on the Minister for Finance and the Government to support this scheme.
