Taoiseach tells energy companies that prices must fall further this winter

Energy companies have confirmed to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar that they will operate hardship funds and minimise disconnections outside of the moratorium period for customers struggling to pay bills.

"I am particularly concerned about what companies are doing to help their most vulnerable customers and received commitments from them that they will continue to help over the winter period, through their respective hardship funds, prompt customer service and minimising disconnections outside of the moratorium period, which last year covered October through to the end of March,” he said.

“This will provide several hundred million euros, which we will use to help families and businesses with their energy bills.
