Rip off Ireland is alive and well, as it has emerged this morning that customers here are paying way above the EU average for their electricity supply.
Prices in Ireland are the third highest, coming in after Germany and Denmark.
Mark Whelan of price comparison site Bonkers said: “This news will undoubtedly lead to more calls for suppliers to cut their prices. However, suppliers will likely point to the statistic that Ireland actually had the third largest decrease in electricity prices in 2015, at 3.2pc.”
