Deputy Michael Healy Rae TD has called on the Government to immediately "slash taxes to reduce impact of higher energy costs".

The Independent Kerry Deputy says the Government needs to act on the European Commission DIY toolkit aimed at mitigating the impact of higher energy prices, by slashing taxes and offering help to impacted households, motorists, and sectors such as agriculture and road transport.

He was making his comments in light of what he called “the Taoiseach’s failure to fully acknowledge the crippling cost-of-living crisis forced ordinary families”.

“I'm tired of hearing Government responses stating that this crisis is beyond their control and escalated by outside forces. This is just an abdication of responsibility of a Government who have simply no answers other than to tell people to grin and bear it.”

He believes that the Government need to immediately reverse the decision to increase the carbon tax in Budget 2022 and beyond, until the impact of the energy crisis is fully understood and a cost-to-benefit analysis undertaken, by whatever parliamentary means necessary, including new legislation, if required.

“This is a serious issue for every single family out there. It requires a proper response from the State.”

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
