The Government is launching a new campaign this weekend that will inform the public about a range of actions they can choose to take to save energy and money, whilst reducing national energy use.

The campaign will roll out in print, radio, and across social media.

A spokesperson said that the campaign will emphasise how, now more than ever, we need to be mindful of how we use energy.

They said: “The campaign will emphasise how the Government, homeowners, motorists, communities and businesses must all work together to overcome the immediate energy security and affordability challenges.

“This will benefit us individually in our energy bills and nationally in our energy security.”

“That saves consumers money, it reduces the amount of gas that we buy from the market and therefore revenues going to the Russian government. It’s a step in the efficiencies direction where we need to go anyway.”

Senator Lynn Ruane

This afternoon.

Via RTE News:

Senator Lynn Ruane accused Senator Sharon Keogan of being “personal” towards witnesses, adding she should “check her Christian values.”

Ms Keogan responded that the committee should not be used as an “echo chamber for one view” and that it should allow space for all perspectives.

Ms Keogan told committee witness Gearoid Kenny Moore, who, with his husband, had twins through surrogacy, that he was “extremely lucky to be here today”.
