Rip-Off-Ireland continues as Bord Gais announces massive price increases




People up and down the country are getting quite sick and tired of just how electricity companies are getting away with extortionate price hikes.

Possibly the most bizarre question that needs to be asked is why so many people aren’t querying just why such prices hikes are ongoing. Simply declaring wholesale prices are more expensive isn’t good enough.

Bord Gais does not want to be left out of the price gouging schemes, so it has jumped with both feet onto the bandwagon by announcing double-digit price increases.

From October 2, electricity bills will rise by 34% and gas bills will rise by 39%.

While shareholders soak their snouts in record profits, the average joe is left to choose between heating or food.
