McGrath: Household energy prices expected to fall soon 

Energy companies have been criticised for not passing on price reductions to consumers. 

The finance minister said he expects household energy costs to fall over the coming weeks as he confirmed that energy credits will be introduced again this winter.

Michael McGrath said the Government developed a “good model” last year around the introduction of energy credits, worth some €600 to households as part of a wider package of measures that were designed to ease the impact of the energy crisis on the public in the wake of the war in Ukraine.
