Dáil hears of woman bathing in cold water to lower bills

Sinn Fein’s Pearse Doherty shared stories from members of the public, which included one woman named Donna who said she has stopped turning on the immersion and is bathing in cold water.

Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has said the Government does not want to see anyone go cold this winter but has ruled out price caps on energy bills.

The cost-of-living crisis, particularly energy household bills, dominated Leaders’ Questions in the Dáil on Wednesday.
