Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe and Public Expenditure Minister Michael McGrath were among those in attendance, as well as officials from the Tánaiste's office.No decisions were taken at today's meeting, but the high level group will convene again - possibly next week.
It comes as the European Union prepares to take emergency action to reform the electricity market and get a grip on energy prices that have soared since Russia invaded Ukraine, senior officials have said.High gas prices have been followed by disruptions in the nuclear and hydroelectric sectors amid a heatwave blamed on climate change - threatening businesses and households with massive bills.
"My impression is, I think our common impression is, that this will now succeed more quickly across Europe than under other framework conditions," he said. EU officials are also considering measures to split electricity price setting from the gas price and take into account other energy sources. Nicolas Berghmans, an expert at the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations in Paris, told AFP that Brussels had already been working on a plan to reform the electricity market before the crisis hit.
