Petrichor ᚄᚔᚅᚐᚁᚆᚃᚒᚔᚂIt's time to renegotiate the electricity and gas contracts. As usual when this happens, I've put it off for weeks, and today woke early with a raging migraine. Why can't the government just renationalise the utilities and end this annual choice between terror, highway robbery or both? #Utilityprices #robbery #terror
Airtricity have a supposed "variable" deal, but I don't know that I trust them to stick with it; I used to get some insane bills when I was with them before
This is the only time when I'm saying fervently "Fuck the EU" - the denationalisation of utility bills and rubbish collection were, I'm told, forced in Ireland by the EU
Colm Ó Donnchadha@sinabhfuil I'm not sure how getting rid of all suppliers other than bord gáis or ESB would help
@ColmDonoghue Take away the profit motive and the shareholders and the prices could be fair
@sinabhfuil the ESB and bord gáis both try make as much profit as they can, and they're state owned
