Sinn Fein’s Mitchell calls on Government TDs to back energy cost motion
Gary Ibbotson 14 Sep 2022Sinn Féin TD for Dublin Bay North Denise Mitchell has called on local government TDs to confirm if they will back the party’s plan to cut energy costs when it comes before the Dáil this evening.
The motion will be debated by TDs and proposes to cut electricity bills to the prices they were in 2021.
Speaking today, Deputy Mitchell said: “Energy bills are sky-rocketing and families in Dublin Bay North are worried sick about paying their bills.
“Prices are going up and up, yet the government is failing to act,” she said.
“The Dáil will debate Sinn Féin’s plan to help hard-pressed workers and families.
“We would cut energy costs and ensure that people get a much-needed break from spiralling bills.
“People can’t wait; they need help and they need it now.
“Our plan would deliver urgent help to families here in Dublin.
“TDs in Dublin Bay North, Seán Haughey, Richard Bruton, Cian O’Callaghan and Aodhán Ó Ríordáin must come out and say if they will back our plan and ensure workers and families get a much-needed break from these costs.
“People are deeply anxious about meeting these costs and they need certainty now. They need to know if their TDs will stand up for them and back Sinn Féin’s plan.
“I am calling on all TDs across Dublin Bay North to back Sinn Féin’s plan to cut energy costs when we bring it before the Dáil this evening.”
