Are Government's fuel measures betting on a quick resolution to the conflict in Iran?

This week the Government introduced a €250 million package of measures to help businesses and households with their fuel bills over the next couple of months. But will it be enough? And is it merely a bet by Government on the Iran conflict being resolved quickly? Joining host Ciarán Hancock in studio to tease this out are Cliff Taylor of The Irish Times and Fergal O’Brien, director of lobbying and influence at employers group Ibec. But the episode starts with Irish times political correspondent Cormac McQuinn taking us through the various fuel measures introduced by Government. Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
