The Energy minister has also said that blackouts could be unavoidable this winter. However The Journal reports that:
"Government sources said they would be very reluctant to give advice on such a measure as curtailing Christmas lights, stating that there will be questions about “how much of this is virtue signalling”, reiterating that it is unlikely Ireland will experience blackouts or brownouts this winter."Essentially cutting Christmas street lights is so far just a possibility and by no means guaranteed. Government will continue to assess a range of options when it comes to reducing power this year.
