Leo Varadkar said he is very conscious about high utility bills landing 'every few months'
Irish households could be in for a boost this Christmas and in the New Year as Leo Varadkar hints at two cash boosts to curb the cost of energy bills.
Although confirmation has not yet been given on energy credit, Varadkar today said he was very aware that high utility bills would be landing "every few months."He acknowledged that giving families a boost at Christmas may not be enough as there is no indication for how long this energy crisis will continue.
Earlier this week, Minister Eamon Ryan confirmed that households would be getting another energy bill credit before Christmas - likely €200, which was also handed out back in April. The Tánaise then said Fine Gael was focusing on the action that can be taken to help households with energy bills, an income tax package to help working people, and targeted help for the most vulnerable.
