Minister Donohoe described Sinn Féin's calls for an energy price cap as 'utterly reckless' as it would be 'the equivalent of writing a blank cheque'.

, Sinn Féin has called on the government to introduce a cap on energy prices.

"Any government do not know what the price of energy is going to be in the future. We don't know that." "The money that we have is the people's money - money that we either collect now in taxes or we borrow on your behalf in the future."The Minister said he's"keenly aware" that the government is still not delivering enough, and not at the right price.

"Any such changes in taxation do play a really important role in helping put money back in the pockets and the purses and the wallets of those people who are the backbone of our economy", he said.The Minister said that, while more and more houses are being built, financial blocks mean they have not been built in proportion to population growth.

The shinners following Tory policies. How low can they go?

'Bloody Sinn Féin, they'll undo all that good work we've done to get the country the way it is'.

Try not giving yourselves a pay rise every few months might help

I see those utterly reckless Dutch and Germans are following SF suggestions.

What about the fridges in the frozen food section in Tesco Paschal? Surely they need to be kept running so you can meet that chap again

Bank guarantee comes to mind

Well it is easy to ask for it to be done by SF coz let's face it, if it was done and it went pear shaped, SF wouldn't have to explain why!

Aren't we writing blank cheques as is..nay increase in unit charges go thru any increase I standing charge goes thru.. govt no will to control prices.. none!! How the fk are renewables still linked to gas prices.. they still are.. still nothing from govts

Pascal's been incharge of finance for years and look at the state of the place ! A quarter of a trillion in debt & nothing to show for it

Yet those reckless Germans, Dutch …. have done it.

'Reckless' is running up billions in national debt. € 257,492,131,454 -- and counting Read more at:

Did Donohue tell you to say this as part of your government obedience duties ?

Capping fuel prices is ridiculous. SF copying Tores. The political wing of the provos have indeed come along way. Disgusting rabble

I wish paschal was as prudent with the childrens hospital costs, national broadband costs, celtic tiger level salaries and profitable travel expenses for politicians.

Pascal having to explain to Mary Lou what works and what doesn’t. As usual.

Brilliant brilliant 🤩 answer

They write plenty of blanque ones for a cork businessman

Chancers

😋

All ff/fg/greens singing from the same hymn sheet a d Ireland 1of only two countries not signing up to an EU fund force eggy. Pascal like Leo ignoring tax commission stuff as sf had recommended items they too suggested Pathetic really Party & power before the people

Everywhere else has done it, this govt like to keep the blank cheques for them self's and business colleagues

What like the blank cheque for COVID or the blank cheque for Ukraine?

Off course he would who gets the lions share of profits the gov wish this eegit was removed

Reminder that most of Europe has already done this. And a reminder that FFFG has had generations to prepare Ireland for this sort of crisis, but was too mired in corruption and sleeze to bother helping anyone but their rich friends.

So Paschald and FineGael are happy for the household to write the blank cheque instead

Blank cheques were acceptable for banks but not for people. That's Fine Gael..
