Gas prices will increase by 90c tomorrow

The price of a 12kg LPG cylinder will increase by 90c from €17.10 to €18 from 1 October. The prices will remain this way until the end of December.

A government statement ignored the price rise entirely, choosing instead to focus on the fact that gas prices in October will be 30c cheaper than they were in October 2013 and €1.60 cheaper than they were in October 2012, the final year under the previous Nationalist administration.

“The government’s policies of stabilising gas prices is another example of how the government is using the energy sector to help families and business, such as when we reduced water and electricity bills for families and how we are going to reduce them for business in March.”

“The government will continue working to stabilise gas prices in the coming months.”
