Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Breda O'Sullivan:

The level of electricity costs in the country is a concern for client companies. It is more of a challenge for certain companies which are very high energy users. The question is always what the long-term plan is, how we are looking at this and how we are going to tackle it in the medium term. There is a lot of work coming forward from the Government in this area. With the level of uncertainty and the ups and downs in the world at the moment, people can accept that there can be spikes and troughs in things like energy prices, but it is about what the plan is in the medium term.
