flag Northern Ireland’s leader demands urgent UK action on rising energy costs, calling proposed aid inadequate amid global price spikes.

flag Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill is calling for an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over rising energy costs, criticizing the UK’s proposed £17 million support package—providing £35 per heating oil household—as insufficient. flag She joined Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney, who has urged an emergency four-nations summit to coordinate a response to energy price spikes driven by the Middle East conflict. flag Swinney warned that soaring global gas prices could increase electricity costs unless swift action is taken, stressing the need for greater investment in renewables, decoupling electricity pricing from gas markets, and supporting consumers amid the crisis.
