Energy Prices
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-15
============================================================

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin (LAB), Dublin Bay North

I wish to ask the Tánaiste about what is probably the biggest issue the Department will face over the coming months, which is rising energy prices and their impact on small and medium enterprises, SMEs, and the potential knock-on impact on employment. What sort of analysis has the Department made on the potential impact on employment in the coming months? What supports will be put in place to prevent businesses going under and unemployment increasing as a result of that?
