Windfall profits could be used to lower bills for consumers - Ryan

The European Commission is advocating that profits made by energy companies, from non-gas related electricity generation, should be redistributed by Member States to off-set the giant spike in energy prices.

Earlier, the Taoiseach said that an"exceptional Government response" was needed in Budget 2023 to tackle the energy crisis. He pointed to other European governments who are adopting a similar approach to Ireland's, which includes cutting demand.

EamonRyan What nonsense...

EamonRyan

There's plenty more of this to keep me warm 😂

Yeah FB says, Eamon Ryan, rings a bell, is he a comedian, looks funny but his jokes are a bit off, know what i mean.

The government has to find some solution to bring District Heating residencial consumers gas fees into line with the average domestic bills in Ireland!!!

EamonRyan Could !!!! Eamon come on .. is the best you can offer

EamonRyan He really hasn’t a clue.. do they even talk to each other in government ffs

Does that include the exorbitant pay rises for TDs, Ministers and senior civil servants?

Amazing we get told what to do. The big money men are merely given suggestions

Meanwhile the government are taxing domestic solar microgeneration. Where’s the logic in this EamonRyan Paschald Dept_ECC ?!?!🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

🤦‍♂️

He's a fucking genius.

He'll never serve in government again after the next elections.

just making shit up. thats all he's doing. Donohue already ruled out windfall tax, and Ireland even signed a declaration with other EU countries stating they will not bring in windfall tax.. then this eejit says crap like this. He's immensely dangerous to ireland.

Must have taken some serious brain power from govt to come up with this idea 🙃🙃🙃 could be done tomorrow, won’t be done ever 👍

Go Green Go cold hungry and homeless. FF FG & Green Party are economic traitors to the Irish people and need to be removed from office. Eamonn is happy to line his own pockets while promoting destitution for all around him. Make sure your bicycle is on the back of your Land Rover

Could be? Why were they permitted to accumulate in the first instance?

Can private entities create the energy solutions needed now & in response to global warming? I doubt it, energy utilities need to be in public ownership eamonryan

Never seen a government to do so much mouthing but fk all action

You could resign that would be a great help

Oh the terrible cost of living and energy we all might die this winter - let’s hope the gov can save us. I’m prepared to hand over complete control to them or the EU who seem to know better too.

If implemented re windfall tax on energy companies profits, this will be seen as a political embarrassment for blueshirts, who are allegedly fuming that their big corporation friends are being hit as FG believe that it will 'hurt investment' into Ireland.

Would buy chance Eamon and Boris be in the same bubble

Ireland isn't self governed anymore. We are not a Republic. They have sold is down the river to the EU. IREXIT COLLAPSETHEGOV

*Could But they f won't 🙄

taxes on profits are surely passed along to the consumer?

What a clever man our Eamon is ... how is it that nobody thought of taxing windfall profits before now... except that it has been mentioned dozens if not 100s of times since energy prices started rising ...

has to wait on the supreme leader vonderleyen to give the orders

We could do with some LNG storage

Probably be used to fill the pockets of his friends

Remember when they said work from home going forward? Yeah costs allot to work from home these days.

Ryan will ya stop talking and resign u are the worst minster in Irish history I mean Ruth cop and boyed Barret are bad but u top her dats bad

Thay will point to increasing price of gas. Next idea Eamon ?

A go away

Stop taking short cuts and using funding we pay for in the long run and invest in proper functional schemes ffs

It's people like Ryan have gotten us into this mess, if people believe these clowns can get us out of it their deluded, green transition will have millions starving in no time
