Association representing petrol stations calls for dedicated energy minister

Fuels for Ireland said energy policy was currently dispersed across various departments, leading to 'fragmented and often ineffective strategies'

Fuels for Ireland said the role would centralise responsibility for managing Ireland’s energy needs. 

The association which represents the country’s petrol stations has called on all political parties to support the introduction of a junior minister for energy as part of their upcoming election manifestos.

Fuels for Ireland (FFI) said energy policy was currently dispersed across various departments, leading to “fragmented and often ineffective strategies”.
