Here is the absolute madness of it all. Ireland now has the most expensive household electricity in Europe, yet Irish families are expected to swallow these scandalous prices with no universal electricity credit or meaningful protection from the State. Meanwhile, Ukraine has one of the cheapest household electricity tariffs in Europe, approximately seven times cheaper than Ireland’s. In 2025 alone, Ukraine’s household electricity subsidy was estimated at 180 billion hryvnia, or roughly €3.8 billion. Europe, including Ireland, is providing Ukraine with billions in financial assistance. That support helps sustain Ukraine’s overall public finances while its government protects its citizens from unaffordable electricity prices. Irish taxpayers have every right to be furious when our own Government insists that it cannot meaningfully subsidise or reduce our rip-off electricity prices but give away billions that goes towards other countries electricity. Apparently, protecting people from extortionate energy bills is possible everywhere except Ireland. We are expected to fund everyone else while being fleeced in our own homes.
