Plans to give electricity customers money back on their bills are being discussed by Cabinet this morning.
It involves reducing the PSO levy to a negative number, which would mean a cut in bills.
Meanwhile, a motion being tabled by the Rural Independents is set to call on the government to end the importation of oil from dictators and to begin drilling domestically off the Cork coast.
Mattie McGrath TD, says the unprecedented energy crisis is being compounded by the government’s Alice in Wonderland’ energy policies:
"When dealing with all kinds of dictators and all kinds of regimes, trying to get oil off them, while we have copious amounts of oil and gas off our coast. It's just an ideology, really that we won't thirst for it and so we won't drill for it."
