Woman (94) sees home heating bill jump €400 in a week, Dáil hears

A 94-year-old woman who relies on home heating oil has seen a half-fill of oil from her provider jump from €464 last week to €879 today, the Dáil heard. Mary Lou McDonald, leader of Sinn Féin, said she had been contacted by the Wexford woman today. “And of course the price surge is also hitting motorists. at the pumps, people are reporting increases as high as 10c on the litre since this onslaught began. Companies are clearly taking advantage,” Deputy McDonald told the Dáil.
