Tax Code Dail Éireann — 2025-05-29 ============================================================ Pa Daly (SF), Kerry As the Minister knows, households are paying a staggering €350, or 30%, more than the European average on their energy bills. During the election last November, the Government claimed it was going to cut energy costs to bring relief to households in a cost-of-living crisis. Instead, it is going to rip away supports. The Minister himself said that energy payments could not become the norm. Does he believe that Ireland's extortionate energy costs are normal? That is my first question to him. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas. Licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
