Rún beartais

Cuireann rún beartais seasamh an Tí in iúl nó iarrann sé gníomh. Ní athraíonn sé an dlí ann féin ná ní chuireann sé iallach dlíthiúil ar an Rialtas an beartas a chur i bhfeidhm.

Ciallaíonn Tá 'tá' agus Níl 'níl' don cheist bheacht a cuireadh. Ní shoiléiríonn an vóta amháin seasamh iomlán ná cúiseanna TD.

Is féidir le rún roinnt tograí a chur le chéile. Baineann Tá nó Níl leis an gceist iomlán a cuireadh, mar sin d'fhéadfadh TD aontú le cuid amháin agus vótáil ina choinne fós mar gheall ar chuid eile.

An rún mar a tairgeadh éArna thairiscint ag Deputy Pa Daly ar Tuesday, 23 September 2025

That Dáil Éireann:
notes that:
— Irish energy prices are amongst the highest in Europe leading to an extra €500 on household bills and is a leading factor in Ireland's cost-of-living crisis;
— the number of households in arrears are at their highest level since records began with 300,000 households in arrears on their electricity bills and 185,000 households in arrears on their gas bills, while many more are just about able to keep up with their bills but are under real pressure;
— electricity prices are the highest in Europe and gas prices are the 5th highest;
— wholesale electricity prices have fallen 75 per cent since their 2022 peak yet retail prices remain 70 per cent above 2022 levels;
— household bills have fallen much slower in Ireland than other European Union (EU) countries following decreases in wholesale prices;
— many energy suppliers have recently increased energy prices despite the sector boasting substantial operating profits;
— the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) has warned that without energy credits and Government action to lower people's bills there will be a spike in the number of people pushed into arrears;
— the Government is committed to five regressive carbon tax increases that will hike more cost on people that need to heat their homes with oil and gas; and
— energy poverty is at record levels with one in three struggling to access this basic necessity;
further notes that:
— the CRU does not have the mandate or powers to regulate the hedging strategies of energy companies or the standing charges they place on household bills;
— data centres consume around 25 per cent of Ireland's electricity, and this is expected to rise to 30 per cent by 2030 consuming the equivalent of over two million homes;
— according to senior Government officials' data centre energy demand is leading to higher energy bills for households and could jeopardise our ability to deliver new homes;
— network costs in Ireland are the highest in Europe with a disproportionate burden placed on households, especially lower income households;
— the draft decision for Price Review Six (PR6) proposes to increase network costs on households and to decrease them for data centres;
— the Public Service Obligation (PSO) levy which is used to fund the renewable transition is also structured and distributed regressively; and
— Ireland imports 80 per cent of the energy we consume leaving energy bills excessively exposed to market fluctuations and geopolitical matters, often placing upward pressure on household bills;
regrets:
— the Government's continued position that they will not continue electricity credits this winter despite the fact that prices have failed to fall to levels in advance of when they were first introduced in 2022; and
— the excessive liberalisation of the Irish energy market whereby our State-owned energy producer and supplier went from owning 96 per cent of capacity in 2001 to 27 per cent in 2024, which coincided with Irish electricity prices going from the lowest in the EU to the highest; and
calls on the Government to:
— introduce three electricity credits valued at €150 each, totalling €450 to ease the enormous burden on households;
— reverse the carbon tax increase introduced by the Government in 2025, and ensure no further increase to the carbon tax next year, including gas and home heating oil;
— strengthen the mandate and powers of the CRU to hold energy companies to account, prioritise energy affordability and enhance transparency in the energy market;
— ensure oversight of hedging practices to protect against price gouging and profiteering;
— regulate standing charges to keep locked in prices lower;
— sanction anti-competitive behaviour to ensure the proper functioning of the market;
— mandate profit reporting to the CRU on operations in the State by all large energy companies;
— reduce the cost on households from the regressive PSO levy and network charges by making sure large companies pay their fair share by implementing a fair funding model;
— ensure that the draft decision of PR6 is not implemented in its current form;
— end Ireland's over-dependence on energy imports and deliver Irish energy independence; and
— increase public ownership of Ireland's energy supply and operation in order to ensure natural resources are directed toward the generation of national wealth rather than private gain.

Leasú Uimh. 1Cinneadh sa vóta seoArna thairiscint ag Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Thomas Byrne

To delete all words after "Dáil Éireann" and substitute the following:
"notes that:
— the Government is acutely aware of the recent energy price increases and the impact it has on households and businesses;
— the Government acknowledges the latest data for June shows that 13 per cent of households are in arrears on their electricity bills and 25 per cent on their gas bills, and supporting these households must remain a priority;
— the previous Government introduced a suite of measures over recent years to help households and businesses deal with the rising cost of energy at a time of very high inflation, including €1,500 in electricity credits to all households through four Electricity Costs Emergency Benefit Schemes, at a cost of €3.3 billion, this is in addition to one-off payments to support certain social protection payment recipients;
— the Government provides support for households through schemes, including the Fuel Allowance, Household Benefits Package (HBP) and Additional Needs Payment;
— Irish electricity and gas prices have historically been higher than other European Union (EU) countries due to long standing drivers, such as geographical isolation, dispersed population, fossil fuel dependency and small market scale;
— the electricity and gas markets in Ireland are commercial, liberalised, and competitive, and competitive energy markets result in greater choice for consumers and businesses, in terms of suppliers, products and prices, price setting by electricity suppliers is a commercial and operational matter for the companies concerned; and
— the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) published a report on retail energy markets in September 2023 in relation to competition and supplier pricing in the energy market, based on a review of supplier prices and wholesale market costs, the CRU considers that retail prices broadly continue to reflect underlying cost drivers, such as wholesale gas and electricity prices, but with a lag period due to supplier hedging strategies; and
affirms that:
— the Government has approved an extension of the 9 per cent Value Added Tax rate currently applied to gas and electricity to end in October 2025 at an estimated cost of €85 million with the net benefit to households from 1st May to 31st October being approximately €26.60 with respect to electricity and €20.28 with respect to gas;
