About this episode
Minister Darragh O'Brien discusses potential energy price hikes and the implications for the Irish economy amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Householders could see energy price hikes in the order of 30%, or above, should the US and Israeli war on Iran continue. To find out what the consequences might be for the Irish economy, and to talk about a tumultuous fortnight for Fianna Fáil, we're joined by the Minister for Transport, Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien.
