Thousands are households are set to receive another energy rebate worth hundreds of euro in time for Christmas, which is hoped to soften the blow as energy prices continue to soar.
The bonus payment was worth €200 in April. It will come as Taoiseach Michael Martin is calling on people to be more “energy efficient” this winter.
The Taoiseach was speaking after Energy Minister Eamon Ryan confirmed that a Christmas energy rebate bonus is coming on his way into Cabinet on Wednesday morning. Mr Ryan was asked if another energy rebate similar to the Spring €200 credit is imminent and he said “yes,” before going further by saying that before Christmas would be “the right time to do it.”
