Social Justice Ireland claims that Universal energy credits are a waste of resources.
It's being claimed that Universal energy credits are a waste of resources.
Social Justice Ireland is renewing its call to the government to ditch the credits as a means of helping people with the cost of living.
Under Budget 2023 measures, all households are receiving a 600 euro deduction in their electricity bills - with the final 200 euro instalment to come before the end of April.
Fianna Fáil senator Eugene Murphy has already suggested another credit will be needed next winter.
