Expert sounds winter blackout alarm as Ireland 'least prepared' for winter energy crisis

Ireland could face rolling blackouts this winter, as the country is the 'least prepared' for the continuing energy crisis which has skyrocketed in recent weeks.

The crisis shows no signs of slowing down either, with another hike in the price of electricity only last week, bringing the number of price rises in the last 18 months into double figures.

On top of that, the prices of both oil and gas remain extraordinarily high, putting further pressure onto the Irish public to try and cut costs elsewhere so they can heat their home or cook their food.
