terms of the overall energy situation, the Deputy is correct in saying that there is no necessity for home heating oil to increase, given that many people will have had that oil in stock and, indeed, much of that oil comes via Britain and Norway, not from

Middle East, energy prices are going to rise even higher. In some cases, they already have, so the cost of home heating oil has gone up €80 since last Friday, for which there is no justification. That oil would already have been bought before the bombing started
supported by the Healy-Rae brothers, where there is no accessible, affordable alternative. The same is true for those who rely on home heating oil. On the retrofit loan scheme the Minister mentioned, fewer than 2,000 households have availed of these loans since the scheme started. When
made things worse. It is jacking up rents, increasing college fees, hiking taxes on family homes and increasing the cost of home heating oil, petrol and diesel. The list goes on.
Any Government with a serious intent of protecting people from inflation has to do three things
delivered a budget of €9.4 billion that, astonishingly, left working people worse off. It hiked up the price of petrol, diesel, home heating oil, road tolls and the local property tax. The Government allows big energy companies and large supermarket chains to price-gouge and fleece people
billion, in which, astonishingly, it managed to leave working people worse off. It has also increased the price of petrol, diesel and home heating oil. Now people face another increase to their already unaffordable electricity bills.
The upgrading and modernisation of our national grid is incredibly important
childcare, a ban on rent increases, meaningful rent relief, the scrapping of further carbon tax hikes on petrol, diesel and home heating oil, the abolition of the universal social charge on the first €40,000 of income, and ending the means test for carers and, maybe, the sweetheart
inflation. It is going to be a cold, hard Christmas for a lot of people. The cost of 1,000 litres of home heating oil has shot up, yet in a country with a massive budget surplus, a rich country, the Government had a budget that made everyone
intervene on behalf of customers who are being ripped off.
In recent weeks, we have heard of the cost of home heating oil shooting up by €80. We know the cost of driving continues to be very high, which is an absolute necessity for people in rural Ireland
need to.
The average energy bill for a three-bedroom house now stands between €1,700 and €1,800 per year. Some home heating oil costs increased by €80 in one month. In addition, people have the cost of rent and groceries, meaning many families are barely hanging
cent for the price of diesel. I also learned, and people have got to know this week, that 1,000 litres of home heating oil in the South of Ireland cost €1,000 whereas in the North of Ireland, it costs just €700. Can the Taoiseach do something
matters worse through increasing costs on individuals: the increase in student fees, another broken promise; increases in petrol and diesel; increases in home heating oil; and increases in local property tax. Increases after increases have been placed on the shoulders of ordinary working families.
That
banks, but it will put up the price for ordinary people. Motorists will have to pay more for home heating oil, petrol, diesel and the local property tax. They will have to pay more for bloody everything but when it comes to banks that are making €5 billion
steepest rise in any household cost and the Government caused it. Of course, it also hiked up fuel costs, petrol, diesel and home heating oil.

calls on the Government to:
— reverse the carbon tax increase of May 2025 on home heating oil and gas, reverse the carbon tax increase of October 2025 on diesel and petrol, and do not proceed with future scheduled increases
policy. The Minister has increased the carbon tax on petrol and diesel again and he plans to do the same for home heating oil and a bag of coal. This is only the first of five planned hikes by Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the independent TDs supporting
increase costs for people but this is the same Government that has chosen to hike up the prices of petrol and diesel, home-heating oil, rent and student fees. The Minister, Deputy Chambers, also stressed that he will, as he put it, have a "return to normal budgeting
Minister of State imagine what it is like for a single mother to have to buy a few gallons of home heating oil at a time, then to have to drag that drum through the house, climb up to the oil tank and pour in enough oil
place where households are still struggling.
On the Government's record, in the past five months the price of home heating oil has risen by €25 per fill. Petrol and diesel prices went up in May and the Government will go for those again in October. Local property
adds up when it is an extra bit in one's home insurance, car insurance, groceries, heating, home heating oil and electricity. It all adds up. That is where the pressures are. There are a group of people out there who notice all of these cent and euro
nothing about inflation but it forgets to say that it is going to raise the cost of local property tax, petrol, diesel, home heating oil and gas because the Government controls a lot of prices in this State. This is another example of how it is screwing people
Government decided to increase the carbon tax, it put up the price of petrol and diesel. It put up the price of home heating oil and gas, which the Government did last month. These are things that are under the Government's control. When the Government decides

diesel will go up again in September courtesy of the Government.
The Government also put up the price of gas and home heating oil just last week. That is why 50% of families do not have enough to get them through the next three months if something goes
