"The wholesale price paid by FFI Members for fuels has continued to increase over the last week, diesel is up more than 11c per litre according to the Portland Price index. These input costs are then subject to all taxes and levies."
"Energy minister Darragh O'Brien said he was bringing forward 'some suggestions and assistance' on how people and businesses 'can use energy appropriately and conserve energy.'"
"Minister O'Brien said he has not had any communication from public transport operators about concerns around fuel supplies or cutting services."
"President of the EU Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen has said she will bring a 'toolbox' of solutions to high energy prices forward next week."
Truck drivers are experiencing significant challenges as fuel prices continue to rise, with diesel increasing by over 11 cents per liter. The Energy Minister is proposing measures to help conserve energy and manage costs. Despite these challenges, there are currently no supply concerns in Ireland or Europe, and public transport operators have not reported issues. The EU Commission is also preparing solutions for high energy prices, although not all cost increases can be mitigated.
