PQ 51
51. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the measures or reliefs he could consider or put in place to prevent pensioners and others on low fixed incomes being further energy-impoverished by "standing charges" imposed on them by gas providers, even when there is no gas being used, as a €20 standing charge per month is a significant sum out of a pensioner's income; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
