The Government has been branded “epic wasters” and accused of throwing public money around like “snuff at a wake”, as the opposition hit out over escalating energy bills and the cost of living.

Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore told the Dáil on Thursday that there is a growing sense of concern about the future, describing it as “economic clouds” on the horizon.
