Ireland are second worst to date in the EU for shielding households and businesses from the energy crisis. (/drinks in downvotes from the usual FF/FG shills with a lovely cup of tea)

The budget thingy isn’t coming out until tomorrow though
0.3 of what?
We are about to launch a frickin 10 billion Euro budget tomorrow. Presumably that’s not included in this “infographic”, the source of which you haven’t mentioned?
>with a lovely cup of tea
Boiling the kettle for all those cups of tea uses too much energy. Time to tax tea bags.
Is this pre-budget? It would make sense to see where we are after
Nice cherry-picked graph which doesn’t say *anything* about actual prices.

If you have a look at the August numbers, Ireland’s in the lower half of retail electricity costs PPS, and we’re one of the lowest in Europe for gas.
And that’s *before* any further measures to be announced tomorrow.
Ah sure at least we are not last
How do you expect do debate with people if you’ve already poisoned the well and called your potential opponents “shills”. You’re not interested in serious debate, but more into name calling and whinging about being downvoted.. Utter state of this sub sometimes.
It would be intereating to see the monetary amount per person.
As noted in the replies, some measures have been included fir other countries but not Ireland (e.g. VAT reductions and public transport fare cuts).
Getting data of this nature to be consistent across countries is a real pain in the ass.
Not to mention, the obvious looming budget.
Well…as long as you expect it
Kinda wish I was living in croatia rn
in all fairness ireland is probably is one of the best states in the eu for gas security as we don’t import any from russia, same with oil, we import as much from russia as we import from nigeria, which is a tiny amount
I’m a SF voter but tbf we need less protecting than many of those EU countries. People are definitely feeling the squeeze and could do with a dig out but other countries have been affected far worse and as such needed more government intervention
What are the units on this chart? 0.3 what?
What’s the source for this?
We need a clear incentive to cut down on usage tbf.
Fuel economy should be at the top of people’s minds when buying a car. Cut out a holiday and insulate the house instead etc.
If the government just shields the population from the effects of energy price increases why would you change your habits.
Where are Portugal and Hungary on that Sourceless graph?
Are these “FF/FG shills” in the room with us now?
GNI?
No fan of the government of FF/FG but this looks pretty hokey.
People are talking about how the budget isn’t announced yet but I think that’s a good thing. Depending on how often this is updated, we will have a point of reference to hoe bad it was once the new measures are implemented (they will take time).
FINALLY A GRAPHIC THAT USES GNI
This graph is stupid and your bracketed comment comes off as very smug when you don’t even identify the units. Do you seriously think we want to be more like Romania/Greece and less like Sweden/Finland?
Ireland seeing nowhere bear the same inpact as other EU countries
This is the real reason Brexit happened, so they wouldn’t be under Ireland
>(/drinks in downvotes from the usual FF/FG shills with a lovely cup of tea)
If I ever get to the point where I start taking the internet this seriously I’d want sectioned
O how I wish we could be more like Greece and less like Sweden.
So many shills in the comments. Y u mad?
I’ll certainly downvote you off your high horse for that title
There’s a budget tomorrow. Maybe make the graph after that.
People talking about shills immediately lose all credibility
Where would the UK if still in the EU
Well colour me not-at-all-surprised.
But is that per capita?
What do those numbers mean?
I’d love for someone from Croatia to chime in on this lol. Where is this data from?
Probably because the government owns the esb and they have a tendency to want all the money
So questioning data etc means one is a fg shill? This is the sort of toxic narrative that is destryoing discorse everywhere. Well done
Cries in Varadkar*
