Daithi O'Se says he owes Irish Times journalist Conor Pope a pint after he followed his advice and knocked hundreds off his energy bill.
The RTE Today Show star took to social media to thank the journalist after he followed guidance he gave while appearing on Friday night's Late Late Show.
Pope said households could save up to €1,000 every year just by switching energy provider.
Addressing the audience in the RTE studio, he asked them to raise their hands if they’re getting energy from the same supplier as last year. An estimated 60% did.
He then said: “Everybody that put up their hand is wasting money. You’re giving energy companies money for absolutely nothing.
“500,000 households have not switched, every single one of those households is wasting money. I’m not talking 50 quid, or 70 quid - they’re all wasting up to €1,000 a year.
“Because the way the business works is when you move from company A to company B, they give you a discount of up to 40% for the first 12 months. But if you don’t move after the 12 months, you go back up to paying the standard rate which is 40% higher.
“It’s not tricky to switch electricity or gas.”
And Daithi has proven Pope to be correct, after sharing his bill after switching which says he will save €453.98 per year.
The tv host said: "Thanks @Conorpope watched you on @RTELateLateShow on Friday took your advice.. ill stand you a pint next time I see you."
