Many people believe that this government is getting beyond a joke at this stage, and as winter approaches, the government have left people more concerned than ever about their heating supplies.
The Taoiseach said he hoped there would be no power cuts this winter, but there is no certainty and the government is taking action on electricity supplies.
Speaking on RTÉ’s This Week, Micheál Martin also said work on demand reduction was needed as part of the response to the energy crisis.
He said the government will ensure that people benefiting from PAYG energy tariffs are not disconnected this winter.
Martin told RTE: “In an energy crisis of this kind we cannot have disconnections.
“We are very clear about that. We don’t want people disconnected, particularly vulnerable people and people who will find it difficulty in terms of meeting their bills”.
He said the Government will be working with the energy providers and the regulator is also working on this.
“And also through the Social Welfare system we will underpin and help people in terms of meeting their bills,” he added.
