Irish households may be faced with fuel rationing in the autumn, warns EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness.
The war on Ukraine has resulted petrol and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months, which in turn has driven up the cost of living. However, there is currently no good news coming from the EU with no plans on cost of living relief being introduced at this time.
Ms McGuinness said the Commission would be keeping a watching brief for now, while they “may do more” at a future date. Instead of delivering some hope to Irish consumers, she signalled that if the squeeze on fuel continues, then fuel rationing is likely to be introduced.
