The government is being urged to introduce a three-month cap on energy prices.
Sinn Féin is warning the market cannot regulate itself and the State must intervene in the ongoing energy crisis.
A motion before the Dáil today will call for a price-cap, a windfall tax dating back to the peak of energy prices last year, and tighter regulation to clamp down on price-gouging.
Sinn Féin's Environment Spokesperson, Darren O'Rourke says people simply cannot cope with soaring prices.
