Energy Prices
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-09
============================================================

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

My question relates to the volatility and increases in energy costs for the commercial sector. We know that in the domestic sector, people can switch suppliers. My understanding is that some companies are not issuing new contracts, so there is very little competition. I wrote to the Tánaiste by email on 23 November and to the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, citing an example of that in my own constituency. I am asking what the Tánaiste's Department can do on this issue.
