Government plans 'appropriate intervention' on rising fuel prices

'This Government understands the pressures families and businesses are under,' says Simon Harris 

'We are now finalising what we believe to be an appropriate intervention, for the areas in which is there is most acute pressure and challenge.'

The Government will finalise “an appropriate intervention” to rising fuel and energy prices next week, the Tánaiste has said.

Simon Harris said measures would be signed off at the next Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
