O’Dowd calls for action to tackle fresh hike to electricity prices

Sinn Féin’s John O’Dowd has called on the Utility Regulator to step in and tackle the latest increase of 30% in electricity bills that is being proposed by Electric Ireland in May. 

John O’Dowd said:

“Over 100,000 people who get power from Electric Ireland are faced with another hike in energy prices.

“Workers and families are under huge pressure as their bills and the cost of living continues to rise. 

“The Utility Regulator needs to step in now and cut the 2% profit margin which has seen energy companies making huge profits while families are choosing between heating their homes and putting food on the table. 

“All efforts must be made to ensure that workers and families are not ripped off by extortionate energy prices.”

The Defence Forces; the Naval services & Army Ranger Wing deserve every bit of praise they have received since the operation off our coast yesterday.
The successful operation again demonstrates the benefits of and need to invest in naval capacity and wider Defence Force.

Government to hike petrol and diesel TWICE next month! In most counties driving a car is not a luxury, it is essential to get to work or drop kids to school

All Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael are doing is making peoples lives more difficult. It's time for change! – @MattCarthy

.@Padraig_Delargy and @Farrell_Mairead met and listened to the voices of students today at the Queens University Freshers' Fair.

Sinn Féin will continue to have the backs of students, and work to ensure that there is affordable accommodation for students right across Ireland.
