Longford-Westmeath TD Peter Burke says supports for energy-intensive firms could be considered in the Budget.
Energy has been identified as the biggest driver of business costs in a new Government report.
The Government-established Cost of Business Advisory Forum has made 63 recommendations aimed at reducing costs and improving competitiveness.
Among them is a call to examine a new scheme to cut energy prices for large, energy-intensive businesses.
Enterprise Minister and Longford-Westmeath TD Peter Burke says supports for energy-intensive firms could also be considered in the Budget:
