Households will need to be supported with their energy bills on a rolling basis into next year as otherwise costs will hit €900 by January, the Fine Gael think-in was told yesterday.

The Tánaiste has publicly indicated that households are set to receive a third energy rebate to help with bills early next year on top of a payment before Christmas.
