Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney and Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications and Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan have said that Irish energy costs will continue to be impacted as long as Russia's war in Ukraine continues. Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, Mr Coveney said the price of energy was going to be unpredictable in the months ahead because of the war in Ukraine. Mr Ryan said that the €230 credit was just one measure from a €2bn package to help families and businesses. Every kilowatt of energy we use is more money for Mr Putin to continue to wage the brutal and illegal war in Ukraine." Mr Ryan confirmed that the bundle of short-, medium-, and longer-term measures will be ready to bring to Cabinet next Tuesday week.
