A statement has been issued today on Friday, 6th March 2026 by the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment on the recent abuse retail workers have been receiving over the cost of fuel.
In a statement Minister Peter Burke said: "I had a constructive meeting today with representatives from the fuel industry.
"I welcomed the opportunity to discuss the current energy market and pricing structures, along with the international factors impacting costs in a very uncertain geopolitical environment.
"I highlighted the current CCPC investigation, and providers expressed that they are more than happy to cooperate fully and will encourage their members to do the same. The CCPC has a strong mandate to protect consumers and ensure competition law is fully complied with.

"It was brought to my attention that retail workers have come under significant abuse in recent days. I want to make it clear that this behaviour is unacceptable, and no one should take their frustration out on any retail worker.
My Department continues to engage with the sector as matters evolve, including through the Government’s Energy Security Group, which meets regularly".
