Vol. 519 No. 1

Written Answers. - Bord Gáis Éireann.

Noel Ahern

Question:

111 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if she will have examinations made into the situation where Bord Gáis is advertising interest free loans over two years for gas central heating; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that people are being refused these loans on age grounds, even those with secure State occupational pensions; if the means or source of income should not be the relevant factor in any such matter; her views on the fact that a State company is operating a policy such as this; and if she will seek an exception in regard to persons (details supplied) in Dublin 11. [13223/00]

This is a day-to-day commercial matter for Bord Gáis Éireann in which I have no function. I assume that consumer credit legislation and other general legislation, which are the functions of other Ministers, apply to the case.
