Energy Energy Headlines News

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has told his Fine Gael parliamentary party tonight that the Government 'will take action' against energy companies if they fail to reduce customer bills this year

He warned that he will not stand over or accept gas and electricity companies making record profits and not reducing consumer bills for homes and businesses.

He pointed out that energy companies increased their bills within a few months of wholesale prices increasing. The Taoiseach said the 'ongoing saga' of Sinn Féin's accounts, incorrect statutory declarations and unpaid bills was extremely serious. He said Fine Gael does not accept that Sinn Féin's leader or party treasurer are not accountable to the public and statements should be forthcoming, he said.

Now now now

Ffs, to little to late leaky, millions has been ripped out of the hands of the irish people by now. You let esb screw people to the wall, for big profit for no reason but to make the rich even richer. 😡😡😡

Ha ha, laughable. Hope it is different action he took against the hospital crisis or the current action he is taking against the housing crisis. The only action he takes is claiming his expenses. How many rounds of counting did it take for him to get back in, was it 7?

Is there an election looming?

I hold you to that Leo

€900 last 2 months. And the greens blocked another €200 help.

WEF Globalist Leaky Leo talks but is part of the system who screw us daily

I doubt it

Using any news and pretext to keep the prices and margins way up high... As usual.

This year? LeoVaradkar really does not care about the poor and middle class in Ireland. He should demand moves now, there should be an indexed price that moves with the markets the same as oil. Electricity should have similar over 3 months. Leo allows the Irish to be ripped off

If he succeeds in doing so it could save his skin in the nxt election

Very early for Leo to be banging the election drums is it not?

Usually he does everything in his power to go against the wishes of Irish citizens so this would be a first.

Leo: 'I will, yeah' RTE:

I would also like him to take action against the education secretary who plans to become a child abuser by forcing trans crud into schools against the wishes of parents

No they won’t.

I'll put my dick up my own ass will have more of an effect

Easy for him to say that when he know it will happen later in the year based on current wholesale prices.

🤣🤣🤣

Don't be fooled people !! Bills will be reduced and FFFG knows that, competition is showing up on horizon, they know that !! It's a very poor strategy to keep the face after their terrible Governance !! And obviously RTE, far left rag helping asalways.

And also payback money that domestic customers overcharged

Only if they fail to reduce the customer bills this year? It is February so they have time until the end of December? Prices should drop already.

Of course these WEF acolytes will🙄

Slainte care, housing for all. The list is endless of what they're going to do, very little action

Why wait? Why wait until now even?

Proves the regulators in Ireland are just in name only, quangos set up to give cushy jobs to incompetent people.

And the band played….”Believe it if you like”

This Year.....The price of gas has been down since December ..

Yea when they reduce in the summer due to less demand he'll be saying it was him that prompted it.

He has designated electricity bills as an incitement to hatred, with special status.

The Taoiseach once said on radio; 'energy companies are regulated and cannot charge, whatever they want'. He clearly got that wrong. A wee bit of a slow learner, I'm afraid.

Jayzus this is definitely going to cost the ordinary tax payers millions so

Leo is hilarious when he talks like that

like when?

Sure he will... If he really wanted to take on energy companies he'd be doing it now.

So reassuring that he is looking out for us!!

Yea but he didn’t say when did he ? Gone with the fairy’s.

Waiting patiently for a general election

🥱

Blah blah blah, the government won't do anything

The spoofer it again . Christ we need an election

Lol. Yeah. Right.
