Minister Eamon Ryan says the Government is not being prescriptive about the use of Christmas lights in cities, towns and villages this winter

He added: “I think local authorities are starting to look at that, they’re starting to consider every measure, but we’re not being prescriptive at that level yet.” The Government’s Reduce Your Use campaign has been clear in how householders can reduce their use of power in a whole variety of different ways, he said.

“I think we’re going to have to look at every single building and every single institution to look at their energy bills and look at how they use energy, because they’re going to be hit with higher gas and oil bills if that’s their heating system,” said Ryan.Ryan will meet with other European Union ministers for an emergency meeting on Friday.

“This year we will have a cost-of-living package parallel with the Budget, which will be once-off in terms of its application for this year which will help people, households, particularly families.

After a decade of FineGael we've got a housing crisis, cost of living crisis, health crisis and a myriad of other crisis and now they've stolen Christmas through sheer lack of planning.

Not sure about that but one thing that definitely can't be avoided is that lettuce head getting voted out of power in the very next election.

So all of this is Putin's fault...the energy companies making record profits is Putin's fault....the Christmas lights being turned off...Putin's fault....right..

That cnt won't have blackouts as he will have the best generator going the expense of the nations taxpayers.

I'm sick of this man.

It's a disgrace this is the price we pay for for 'standing with Ukraine'. IDontStandWithUkraine

Basically double speak, there will be power cuts, it's not our fault, honestly, Really it's not. I'll do my bit this Christmas, Recyle and not use Christmas lights on my Christmas tree EamonRyan, hope you like my recycling effort for the top of my tree.

If the energy minister can't guarantee energy he should be sacked , simple as that.

Dill for Oil and Gas now

What about the new Electric bus how are they going to run

Well drill for our own Oil and Gas there is no climate change it's all a faults boogie man so government can have more control electionNOW ClimateScam

But wait…. We have added more electric transport in Dublin today! Great result

If theres blackout ANYWHERE and there’s a light on at EamonRyan house or any politician’s house then surly it’s time for the people to step up. If sleepy and government walk/cycle and have no electricity first that’s acceptable.

Cabbage

Sounds planned

Yeah but i have a nice tasty lettuce on my windowsill, so thank you Mr. Ryan

The Green Party cancel Christmas. No Christmas dinners, no Christmas lights, no Christmas trees, you can’t even have a lump of coal if you have been bad. You do get to stay in bed, alone, shivering in perpetual darkness for the entire holiday due to their complete incompetence.

Skip them this year

propaganda

Clown

No argument here, there’s no need for them, it’s all just commercialisation, keep Christmas simple like it used to be, no need for extravagant lights

Bank bailouts, Net Zero, Lockdowns, Turf, Cars, AirBnB, Rent controls, Uber, Data Centres, Cows, Peat Power stations, bit of the aul warmongering, and now Christmas. Digital communism incoming.

I just realised Eamon charges up his brain by shuffling on carpet with biodegradable slippers but must do it during non peak hours or his brain battery (rechargeable of course) goes into limp mode.

Yet he wants us to buy electric cars again like covid, no journalists will stand up to the madness that comes out of his mouth.

EamonRyan you need to increase your prescription, all this green power is having a detrimental effect on your brain cell (singular)✋

Jeez, Scrooge would love to be living this Christmas.

But the data centres!

Putin must be laughing real hard

So Eamon Ryan wants us all to gather in the local library on Christmas day is it

It's obvious that they should be banned, and external house decorations. We are going to be at the pin of our collars to keep the electricity going through this winter. People need to cop on to the serious situation we are in

Its like the greens saying everyone needs to go electric, oh yay this green revolution is here finally arent we great then fuck, there is no electricity cancel christmas. Absolute looneys they. Probably turn around in 5 years time and apologise for the polluting electric cars.

No just have it in a library 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are we just going to ignore the fact they are telling us to buy electric cars, but almost in the same sentence telling us to reduce our electricity usage 🙈

Ah Jesus does he want to cancel Christmas now?
