Esb posted soaring profits

[JennyIrish]

My blood was boiling reading this, almost 1 billion in profits by a state owned organisation at a time when people were afraid to turn on their heating I hear from clients who are small business owners their electricity bills being 3 times the usual amount. Electric Ireland made no profit in 2022 - gave €55m back to customers. I dont begrudge people in reciept of social welfare but there seemed to be so much help given to them and nothing to ordinary workers trying to pay rent/mortgage, I heard a wicklow woman on the radio, she and her husband are busisness owners with 4 young children, they couldnt get a mortgage, they are renting their home but have to leave in two months and cant get anything suitable near their childrens school you could hear the panic and stress in her voice. I believe that theres plenty of jobs, plenty of money in this country, apparently we currently have the strongest economy in Europe but it seems the workers most essential to society -nurses teachers, gaurds etc and our well educated youth are left struggling and emigrating.

Varadker boils my blood, out of touch privileged dope, that "joke" about Clinton the White House, even National school kids know how much the Clinton's did for the North, I'll never forget his comment a few years back that young couples should turn to the "bank of Mum and Dad" for help with a mortgage deposit, could he be more out of touch??

Anyway that's my rant, my heart breaks for anyone working their arse off and struggling, I was once that solder it's horrible.
