In 2020, 17.5% of households spent more than 10% of income on energy, which equates to energy poverty. While it acknowledges that the impact of the crisis on energy provider profits is not known, the report suggests the Government investigate if Irish energy providers have profited.Excess profits are defined as the increase in profits reported between October 2021 and March 2022 compared with the previous year.The report found that welfare supports during Covid played an important role in mitigating and reducing levels of inequality in Irish society.
The report proposes a number of key measures to reduce wage and labour income inequality, including an immediate increase of the minimum wage by €1 per hour to address inflation rates currently running at over 6%, and a sliding scale of retrofit grants to deliver greater progressivity and encourage all income households to retrofit.
Maybe if the Minister for Housing was taken to to task by something might happen but of course rte is broke so won't rock the boat.
