Sir, – Richard Boyd Barrett TD said on a recent TV news programme that it is quite insulting for the Government to say to people to think of using less energy. His party is proposing a multibillion package to deal with the energy crisis (“PBP calls for €1,000 cost-of-living payment”, News, September 8th).
Similar to when the water charges issue arose, his political party is at least consistent in its guiding principle: use away, do not hold back, somebody else will pay for it. – Yours, etc,
